A muzzle brake (1) of a weapon or a weapons system, in particular for small- and medium-calibre weapons, that has a reduced outer signature with respect to heat and/or propellant gas emissions is proposed. For this purpose, the propellant gas emerging from the barrel (3) is diverted to the gas outlet openings (8, 10) of the muzzle brake (1) in order to impinge on them - to absorb the recoil - and is then made to pass further to the rear, and thereby cooled in a device (12). |
