[QUOTE="adrexco, post: 1231300, member: 88101"] Nope I believe that's accurate. The part that is the most difficult is the fluid dynamics and the effect the super sonic gas stream has on the bullet' velocity. Being that the gas stream is still pushing static air out of the way, I suspect it does effect the bullets velocity. With a brake you redirect the gas to oppose the reactive force (recoil). That redirected force would be traveling with the bullet. I suspect the gas out accelerates the bullet as it leaves the barrel (and delecerates rapidly due to its low mass). I think the gas column projected around the bullet reduces the bullet's initial deceleration. I have to say I'm speculating on the external fluid dynamics of the system. [/QUOTE]
