[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1231261, member: 13110"] Go look at the video link I posted. I tested numerous different brakes with different baffle angles and effectiveness and there is no significant change in velocity. The ES was less than 20fps on a 338 Lapua even without a brake. The pressure drop is so drastic when the bullet leave the barrel because the gases have somewhere else to go besides right behind the bullet, the path of least resistance. The gases have to be contained to effect the bullet and that is why suppressors are faster than a brake or nothing at all. A brake doesn't effect the gases that follow directly behind a bullet, only the gases that deviate from the bullet path. Once the gases deviate from the bullets path they can't alter the speed of the bullet in any way shape or form but they can be used to reduce recoil. If you've watched slow motion video of a bullet exiting a barrel you'd see how fast the gases dissipate and sure the gases will continue to accelerate a bullet slightly once it leaves the barrel. Like I already said, the gases that effect a bullets velocity can't be touched by a brake. [/QUOTE]
