Muzzle brake ?????

[morrcarr67]

I saw someone here post to stay away from muzzle brakes that have points on the ends. Why?

YHM sells these Flash Hider that has points: http://yhm.net/accessories/muzzle-ac...s.html?cat=137





They also sell different models in the same series that they say are just Muzzle Brakes: http://yhm.net/accessories/muzzle-ac...s.html?cat=138





The ones that say they are muzzle breaks seem to have a plate with a hole towards the end of the break. Does this make it a break and not a flash hider?

You've been here long enough to know...

However, the muzzle with *break* if it falls on the carpet

Some of the muzzle devices you've posted have the ability to reduce and/or redirect a rifles flash signature which would be considered a flash hider.

Flash hiders are to be avoided if one is going featureless.

It's still a brake, but a lawyer could misconstrue those crenellations as being the prongs of a flash hider.

So, it can be tacticool and the operator can use it as a stand-off impact device (you can poke people with it).

The first two are flash hiders the second two are brakes. See the end? Larger than crown it's a hider, same as crown it's a brake. However... if the vendor lists a muzzle brake as "reducing flash signature" then you're skirting the line of maybe getting arrested.

Thanks for that info.

You're prolly already aware, but end "serrations" were originally intended as a means to quickly cut a strand of barbed wire with a fired round. Press the serration onto the wire and a quick pop. Not of much use in urban setting...

pointy parts don't affect things. Brakes have a small exit hole, Flash suppressors are wide open

The pointy ends do mess up your soft cases.
