[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 517584, member: 26019"] Thanks, I think? Maybe I really wasn't too clear. Put a bigger bore hole in it so that the bullet wont hit the "screw on brake" should it come loose. Get rid of those flat baffles that bounce the concussion back at you like throwing a baseball at a brick wall, angle them away from you. Once the bullet leaves the muzzle it has no effect on recoil. The exhausting gasses are the only thing a brake can control.

The more that is allowed to go straight ahead the less effective and quiter the brake becomes to the shooter and bystanders. The physics behind high velocity water and high velocity gasses is the same. look at an adjustable garden hose nosel, the water is controllable from a fine stream to a get you wet fan shape, the gasses leaving the brake are directed in the same manner.
