Can switching muzzle brakes change muzzle velocity??

[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1231301, member: 13110"] If your theory about a brake changing the velocity was sound and you want to argue about the travel affecting the velocity then why does the round with no brake have a velocity exactly the same as the previous round yet it travels 3 times further on the sled? And why doesn't the velocity follow the amount of travel with every shot? I went through physics in college too and know the formulas. I have to test again in the next few days and can get velocities on and off the sled but I'll bet you there is no significant difference in the two. Calculations and the real world don't always mesh typically because something is being overlooked in the calculations. In this case I think your overlooking the fact that the energy used to accelerate the bullet after it leaves the muzzle isn't the same energy being used to reduce the recoil. The energy used to accelerate the bullet doesn't change with or without a brake because it exits the brake behind the bullet. [/QUOTE]
