What are the Different Type of Muzzle Devices?Įach of the different muzzle devices serves a specific purpose. This redirection of the escaping gasses counters a portion of the rearward movement that produces felt recoil in the hands and shoulder. The flat, wall-like surfaces of the muzzle brake’s chambers redirect the escaping gasses to the sides of the shooter instead of downrange. Muzzle brakes reduce the amount of felt recoil.

Flash hiders are designed to disrupt that reaction to the oxygen-rich air, thus reducing or eliminating the muzzle flash. This chemical reaction causes a brief but bright fireball known as muzzle flash. The ‘un-burnt’ gasses that leave the barrel have a tendency to combust when it comes into contact with the oxygen-rich air outside of the gun. Most of the gasses are burned up in the process depending on the length of the barrel, but there are some that escape the muzzle as the bullet leaves the barrel. When it comes to choosing the right muzzle device for your firearm, it ultimately depends on your shooting style and personal preferences. On the other hand, flash hiders are designed to minimize the visible muzzle flash and protect the shooter’s vision during low-light or nighttime conditions. Muzzle brakes are made with the purpose of reducing felt recoil, resulting in improved accuracy and the ability to swiftly fire follow-up shots.
