Muzzle Break Question

[Will1776]

Kind of new to ARs, but I'm looking to get a muzzle break for my AR with a 16 inch barrel for a fair price. If there's one product thats way above the rest, but pricey I'll definitely consider it. Open to all suggestions. Just a bit overwhelmed by all the options when I look online. Mainly looking for something simple, quality, looks fine, and will get the job done better than an A2.


Thank you.

I just happened to see an article about this subject yesterday so it was still in my browser history http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/201...ke-shootout-3/

I have the dynamic resistance brake, which subjectively to me, is the best brake I have shot. But others rated higher.... At least the article defined their process and tried to be quantitative.

Very helpful post. Thank you. Also apologies for the spelling errors in title and first post (muzzle break instead of brake) lol

That one was in their second test and rated pretty well.....

Having now linked two spiffy graphs, I feel compelled to say, "There is more to a muzzle brake than just recoil reduction"

The are terrific LOUDENERS (tm) The blast you notice is increased, not only to you, but those next to you. If you want to make "friends" shoot one with a loud brake indoors at a crowed range.

I might be in the minority but since the 5.56/223 really doesn't have much in the way of recoil or muzzle rise I usually pick my muzzle devices based of of what looks good to me.

Best brakes I've ever used, and relatively inexpensive:

When it comes to muzzle brakes, less recoil = more noise, that's just the way it is.
I personally don't care about the person next to me and whether or not they appreciate my brake - they can move.

I was thinking more like a naked lady silhouette like on a tractor trailer mud flap.
