  • Extended chamber muzzle brake
    Patent number: 6820530
    Abstract: A muzzle brake having an elongated inner chamber for dissipating a recoil force created by the discharge of a firearm having a muzzle, without a substantially increasing the noise heard by the shooter. The muzzle brake is a cylinder with an inner chamber and at least one opening radially disposed from a central bore. The inner chamber reflects gas and sound energy, which is then directed toward the openings. These openings have a longitudinal dimension greater than a lateral dimension and help to dissipate force-causing gases away from the muzzle end of a firearm with reduced reflection of gases back towards the shooter. The decreased amount gas reflected back toward the shooter decreases the amount of noise the shooter hears.

  • Muzzle brake
    Patent number: 6752062
    Abstract: A muzzle brake for dissipating a recoil force created by the discharge of a firearm having a muzzle, without a substantially increasing the noise heard by the shooter. The muzzle brake is a cylinder with at least one opening radially disposed from a central bore. These radial openings have a longitudinal dimension greater than a lateral dimension and help to dissipate force-causing gasses away from the muzzle end of a firearm with reduced reflection of gasses back towards the shooter. The decreased amount gas reflected back toward the shooter decreases the amount of noise the shooter hears.
