[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1232444, member: 30902"] The angle of the ports has an effect on both how much sound is directed back at the shooter as well as how much of the rocket motor effect is reduced. The brakes I like the best have just a slight forward angle on at least the rear discharge port which seems to really reduce the noise to the shooter. Too much of a forward angle however would reduce its effectiveness in reducing felt recoil. I've seen/heard all sorts of arguments about different shapes of baffles make one brake superior to others but in truth I think it boils down more to the total volume of gas discharged through the baffles rather than going out the front end. Other than that I think the shape of the holes is really more a matter of aesthetics. What looks cool sells no matter how effective it is/isn't. [/QUOTE]
