Can switching muzzle brakes change muzzle velocity??

[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1231292, member: 13110"] That would basically be the same as shooting from your shoulder through a chronograph. The velocity doesn't change. The energy (or gases) that a brake uses to reduce recoil aren't gases that effect the muzzle velocity of a bullet. Those gases flow linear with the bullet and follow the bullet out of the brake untouched. Once that gases deviate from that linear path then a brake redirects them to counter act the recoil. Yes I could build a set up to measure the force exerted by the rifle and have the rifle not move. Is it going to be any better, not likely, and most people want to see a measurable result rather than a number generated from a pressure pad. Felt recoil can be much different then Ft/lbs of recoil too. The recoil velocity effects felt recoil to a large degree as well. [/QUOTE]
