Muzzle brake for rifle or similar firearms

摘要

A muzzle brake for a rifle or firearm serves to dissipate the forces generated by the weapon during firing which, if not dissipated, could affect the intended trajectory of the projectile. The present muzzle brake is a cylindrical member having a plurality of slots formed therein. The slots permit the egress of the gases formed during firing. The slots are formed in an arrangement such that the gases are equally dispelled in all directions. The cylindrical member may be formed such that the diameter thereof lessens.
