[QUOTE="ndking1126, post: 1970994, member: 26820"] No, it would still reduce recoil, just not as much as most brakes. The gas is still pushing the rifle forward, but instead of having a flat surface to hit and push directly, they hit a slightly angled surface and are able to deflect a little. Basically, giving up a little bit of recoil reduction to reduce concussion and noise. Always a trade off. They claim up to 85% recoil reduction, but I don't see anyway that's even close to true. I'd guess about 30-40%, assuming most brakes can reduce around 50%. It passes the common sense test, too. If the brakes that are angled back towards the shooter are the ones that have the most concussion, the ones that are angled away should have less. [/QUOTE]
