    Modified birdcage muzzle brake

    So I was at work and saw a video on YouTube regarding muzzle brakes effectiveness. I learned that a birdcage muzzle brake doesn't really work in reducing recoil like other "custom" brakes do. So I thought if anybody ever modified a birdcage brake and didn't see anything on google. So long story short I had some free time today put on some ice cube picked up my Dremel tool and made some music.... Hopefully I'll go to the range soon and see how bad of an idea this was.

    Ruined an A2 "FLASH HIDER". It was never a muzzle break to begin with, now it is ugly junk. I really hope you're kidding. And painting it orange like an Airsoft is a good way to pee off LEOs.

        Orange tip is not cool. You have effectively made a can opener.

            You need to understand the purpose of a flash hider and effectiveness how a compensator functions.
            As others said. That orange tip will just piss off LEO.
            That thing you made will make a a big flash.
            Been gone too long. It's been 15 to 20 years since i had to shelf my guns. Those early years sucked.

                I was going to say bottle opener. I'm not exactly sure what the OP thinks mangling a flash hider is going to accomplish, but whatever.

                Also, why in the hell would you paint it orange?

                  Do you accept Paypal?
                  It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the bottom.

                            I'm trying to run a business here. If you want a poor cheap product made by an amateur go buy from glock. Shipping is $19.99 flat rate. Can deliver up to 3 houses down.

                              I modified mine as well. Made them into shifter pegs for my bike.

                              Much more useful in my opinion.
