[QUOTE="Chase723, post: 2090374, member: 21524"] If you’re concerned about your hearing (which we all should be) 1) go through the process of getting a suppressor 2) if not willing to pursue that, make certain that you double up on ear pro, especially if shooting under cover. There are several brakes on the market that have ports that are 90 deg to the brake. Even with that, if you are shooting prone, pretty much all brakes will kick up debris off the ground, so get a shooting mat. The video you posted above only demonstrates how the brake functions, but doesn’t give you any idea about how effective they actually are. Case and point, go to YouTube and search for Terminator brakes. That setup demonstrates actual efficacy and he compares several brakes, many of which direct/vent gas rearward in a similar angle. Port design matters a lot. With that said, one brake that I have personally used a decent amount (and I much prefer suppressors) that is both very effective and has minimal “back blast” or concussive effect is the Shot Caller brake by Straight Jacket Armory. I have no affiliation with them, I just know that their brake works well for what you desire. The first port is at 90 the other ports are at 30. A similar brake is made by Patriot Valley Arms but I forget the name of it. [/QUOTE]
