Abstract:
1. An improved muzzle brake for application to an end of a barrel of a firearm, to provide a forward force to counteract recoil forces of said firearm during firing, comprises: a tapered body; a narrowed first end including an attachment opening having internal machine threads adapted to engage external machine threads on said end of said barrel of said firearm; an expanded second end defining a flattened outer surface with a central projectile bore; a flat upper surface; a flat lower surface; and two lateral sides forming a first lateral oval vent defining a first flat brake plate having a first central bore, a second lateral oval vent defining a second flat brake plate having a second central bore and a third lateral oval vent defining a third flat brake plate having a third central bore penetrating through to said central projectile bore, said attachment opening, said central projectile bore and said third central bore having a third diameter, said second central bore having a second diameter larger than said third diameter of said third central bore, and said first central bore having a first diameter larger than said second diameter of said second central bore and said third lateral oval vent having a third width larger than a second width of said second lateral oval vent, and said second width of said second lateral oval vent is greater than a first width of said first lateral oval vent, wherein a bullet fired from said firearm through said attached muzzle brake travels through said attachment opening, said first central bore, said second central bore and said third central bore through said central projectile bore, while deflecting combustion gasses generated by said bullet laterally by said first flat brake plate, said second flat brake plate and said third flat brake plate through said respective first, second and third lateral oval vents, resulting in a graduated elimination of said combustion gasses in a direct lateral direction as said bullet passes through said muzzle brake, forcing said firearm forward, reducing said recoil forces of said fired bullet.
