They do not inherently cause the muzzle to move up – if the rifle were to be suspended in the air, it would move straight back.īut it’s not suspended in the air, it’s connected to your body. The gases exiting the muzzle do so in a very uniform manner, with essentially no variation from side to side and top to bottom. In scientific terms, the rifle is an arm with forces being placed upon it at the very end – the muzzle. If we think of limiting rearward forces as recoil reduction, then limiting upward forces must be called “combating muzzle rise,” right? Wrong.Ĭonsider yourself shooting a rifle with a bare muzzle from the standing position.
SilencerCo’s massive Specwar triple port brake/silencer mount was by far the most effective device at recoil reduction, for example, but it was also loud and created a distinctive muzzle flash. Not surprisingly, the most effective muzzle devices in the test were also at the loud and bright end of the spectrum in the previous tests. During a four month period, over 1500 rounds were fired to verify g-force data from the accelerometers. Using high speed video (courtesy of SilencerCo) and multiple accelerometers, I will be able to show visually as well as mathematically how effective each device in the test is at recoil reduction. You would have to get different flash hiders anwyways.Late last year I published parts one and two of a muzzle device comparison the third part was essentially complete at that time, but I decided to hold off on publishing it until I could verify some of my data. That benefit is absolutely not worth the trouble, and it completely goes away if you are trying to put the can on rifles of multiple calibers. There is only one benefit that I could see, and that's not having to buy a muzzle brake/flash hider for each rifle you have. They're $65 per brake - why not just have one per rifle?Īlso, as noted - if you want a direct thread and you use the flash hider + ASR mount, it's heavier and longer. The ASR mount fits them both without any changing of parts. You can buy flash hiders/brakes with ASR mounts for a 5.56 rifle and a 7.62 rifle. The ASR mounts are all the same thread size on the can threads. If you DO check the ASR mount each time, you are now doing more work than you would if you had just bought a second FH or MB and installed that on your other rifle. You will likely not check the ASR mount each time you re-install the can which would be a mistake. That means you're putting force on the attachment of the ASR mount when you shouldn't be - both when installing and removing the flash hider from each barrel. First, and most importantly - you will unscrew the flash hider from the barrel while the FH is still inside the ASR mount. If it is - Why?ĭo SilencerCo cans not come with direct thread mounts now? It just seems like a terrible idea to me.
It doesn't take much to do - just a $3 shim set if the one you already have isn't sufficient.Īs far as using the flash hider as a direct thread mount - I'm not sure if that's a serious suggestion or not.
I will say that even though I shoot unsuppressed - my OCD won't let me not have my brake timed well just because I'll always have a can on there. The sacrificial baffle idea is one I think makes sense, and I don't ever shoot unsuppressed, so the noise of the brake is a moot point. I have brakes on all my rifles with cans (which is now ALL of my rifles).
