[QUOTE="ENGUNEER, post: 2536218, member: 69255"] A muzzle brake is only as effective as the percentage of the propulsion gas that is turned 90 degrees to the bore axis. Anything less than 90 degrees will impart some thrust (ie, kick) to the gun. Therefore, any gas that leaves in the direction of the bullet travel will impart kick. However, that kick will be small if the annulus between the bullet and the brake exit hole is small. [/QUOTE]
