Abstract: A muzzle brake which may be integrally formed on the end of a gun barrel or it may be an adapter which is threadably attached to substantially the end of any gun barrel of choice. The muzzle is integrally formed and includes a first interior bore which is attachable to a gun barrel and a second interior bore which is of a size and shape to slidably receive a bullet therethrough, with the muzzle brake having multiple vent ports which are so designed as to direct exiting propellant gasses in a manner that will urge the brake and gun in a forward direction, so as to reduce recoil and also simutaneously urges the brake and the gun downward, so as to reduce vertical lift.
