Abstract:
A muzzle brake device includes a main body having a receiver opening, a discharge opening, a central bore, and a plurality of discharge channels extending outward from the central bore at locations between the receiver opening and the discharge opening. A plurality of raised inlet members are disposed along the central bore and are in communication with the plurality of discharge channels. A separation distance between the channels is complementary to the length of the projectile to which the weapon on which the device is attached, and each of the discharge channels are arranged to emulate the vane of a turbine engine, so as to produce a mechanical force that counteracts the recoil of the weapon to which the device is attached.

Claim (Index 1):
A muzzle brake device for a firearm, comprising:\n an elongated main body having a proximal end, a distal end, a first side section, a second side section that is positioned opposite to the first side section, and a central bore that extends from the proximal end to the distal end; a first set of channels that are positioned within the main body, each channel of the first set of channels being separated longitudinally by a first distance, and comprising a gas inlet section that is in communication with the central bore, and a gas discharge section that is in communication with the first side section; and a second set of channels that are positioned within the main body in a mirror image arrangement to the first set of channels, each channel of the second set of channels also being separated longitudinally by the first distance, and comprising a gas inlet section that is in communication with the central bore, and a gas discharge section that is in communication with the second side section, wherein the central bore includes a diameter that is complementary to an outside diameter of a projectile to travel along the central bore, and the gas inlet section of each channel of the first and second set of channels includes an inlet opening distance that is complementary to a length of the projectile to travel along the central bore, and are configured to produce a valving effect for sequentially discharging a propellant gas through the first and second set of channels.
