[QUOTE="adrexco, post: 1231878, member: 88101"] Makes total sense. You can't effect the recoil energy of the projectile, but you can the gas recoil energy. Looking at it from the point of view that the bullet is just one particle in the stream of ejected particles, it makes sense that the gas particles never catch up since they have so little mass compared to the bullet. So all a muzzle brake has to work with is the gas portion of the total energy. [/QUOTE]
