[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1725329, member: 2736"] The design Of the brake will determine the amount of recoil reduction and sound. A really loud muzzle brake will have backward facing ports but can control muzzle rise. A brake that has 90o ports to the bore Is just as loud, but is perceived as being quieter. A brake that ports are forward facing have even less perceived sound By the shooter but The DB noise will be the same and lose some recoil reduction. A proper crown (Cone or convex in shape) can be the quietest because it projects the sound away from the shooter but offers no recoil reduction. Some experiments have shone that a megaphone type muzzle device is the quietest of all but again offer no recoil reduction. (You occasionally see these on Machine guns). The quietest system of all the sound reducers Is good hearing protection.;););) J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
