[QUOTE="ricka0, post: 75082, member: 3086"] [ QUOTE ] <font color="purple"> You can't have your cake and eat it too. </font> [/ QUOTE ] Actually, that old cliche is false, you [b] <font color="red"> CAN </font>[/i] [/b] if you use a [b] <font color="red">[i] CAN </font>[/i] [/b] A [b] <font color="red">[i] CAN </font>[/i] [/b] being a supressor - illegal in most states and much more expensive than a muzzle brake. Muzzle brakes work by preventing the forward momentum of the gasses (muzzle blast) from going forward - the jet effect of the gasses leaving the barrel at a much higher velocity than the bullet exit. A modern shark brake like those on my 50 BMGs actually do much better than perpendicular (ie, reduce gas thrust component to zero) with their 30 deg brake - they contribute COS(90-30) = .5 or 1/2 the thrust pulls the gun forward - opposite the impulse of the bullet. Given that you you [b] <font color="red"> CAN't </font>[/i] [/b] buy a [b] <font color="red">[i] CAN </font>[/i] [/b] - the old cliche is probably true. My BAR 338 WinMag kicks like a .243, all of my 50's seem to kick even less (but they do push you back). My semi-custom 375 Kirby/Lilja/RUM arrives today sporting a Holland QD - report soon. [/QUOTE]
