[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1086648, member: 2736"] Your welcome. I though you were talking about rifles, Shotguns are a different thing. Muzzle brakes don't work very well, if at all on shotguns because of the projectile weight compared to the powder charge. A muzzle brake relies on gas and pressure to work and with the small powder charge and large shot weight and the weight of the shotgun, the recoil is almost unchanged unless you add weight like you mentioned. Big bore rifles are less effected by muzzle brakes because of the same gas to bullet weight percentage (Big heavy bullets and smaller powder charges). The recoil velocity is Fairly high on shotguns because of there weight. A proper fitting shotgun can help in the felt recoil and a gas operated shotgun will also reduce some recoil. Most shotguns are ported to reduce the recoil but they are not very effective ether. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
