Excellent video. Generally speaking, there are three things I'm interested in regarding muzzle brakes. 1. What is the Increase in noise level to the shooter. 2. How will a given muzzle brake change the poi of my rifle from being sighted in without a muzzle brake? 3. Recoil reduction. Your video has thoroughly covered #3 and I hope you can include the other two points in a future video.

Hi Gavin, I really enjoyed this test and seeing the results grafted. I was also a little surprised by those results because I assumed other breaks would out preform the Apollo breaks. Quite a surprise. It would be interesting to run a decibel test from behind the rifle at the time of running other tests on the breaks. The noise levels and overall break efficiency together would be fruitful in deciding what break to purchase. Really great job Gavin.

How does your pulling trigger affect the recoil? Are you adding a variable by not pulling the same way every time? How about the other hand bracing the firearm? Probably should have a trigger pull rig to pull the same way every time and then do testing with dummy rounds to quantify without actual recoil.

Gavin, I am glad someone put some real accurate data to the brake test. I am also an engineer that works on taking force measurements at very high speeds(300ks/s). There are several little things you could do to get the purest readings but most of them are just noise due to the high forces you are measuring. I am surprised at how high they are. As for muzzle rise, you could use a high speed camera but then you will need compare it to some measuring device. An easier way would be to use a linear or axial encoder mounted on pivots. You would also be able to correlate the muzzle rise with the recoil force and the time off of target. Keep up the good work.

The angled port brakes seemed to perform really well. Case and point being the 419 brake being smaller, but more effective. The EC brake is 4 ports, but they are relatively straight which hurt it overall performance. Those Ultradyne brakes worked pretty well, but I wonder how they would stack up against a 4 port 419 or APA brake.

My immediate theory as to why the brakes with the higher clearance performed better is based off of fluid mechanic principals. For example you get better flow with a gradual 90 degree turn than you do with an abrupt 90. So giving some clearance simulates a gradual shift. That paired with the 4 port design would makes sense why they performed so well. Would like to see this test done with hand loads to have a more consistent charge to compare. Might be negligible but would still be interested in seeing those results.

While some of the better brakes on the chart did have higher clearances, some of the runner ups also had a tight clearance like the ec tuner brake and the hellfire, I would say they may not exactly be linked but it would be intersting to test.

The air inside the barrel before the shot provide pre-bullet braking which accounts for the offset in the peak from the bare muzzle. I was thinking that you should look at reduction of impulse rather than total impulse. It might be enlightening. I realize the result order won’t change, but showing the amount of reduction might be helpful when looking at a higher recoil rig.

Idea to utilize your current set up to test for "compensation". Rig your sensor to in a type of bracket to rest on top of the barrel near the muzzle. Then with each comp you should have a reading of muzzle reaction in volts or your convert to pounds of force. With the sensitivity of your sensor, you should have some pretty good data. Personally, I care more about the compensation features over the reduced felt recoil. Makes those follow up shots on point. Love the video. Please keep up the good work!!

I think those different”peaks”you’re seeing more coincide with the amount of baffles in each break and how the pressurized gas interacts with each baffle in a consecutive order as it leaves the barrel as opposed to the resonance of the weapon. Although I do think overall resonance does play a role due to location of the break on the the front of the weapon, and the sensor on the rear!

Excellent test. I look forward to your upcoming 5.56 test. I've shot a lot of 3gun with the JP 2 port brake and now a 3 port as well as the Surefire 223 comp. I've always been curious how well the M4-72 and Ultradyne brakes actually work in 5.56. Now I'm getting into some precision rifle matches still with the gas gun, but also bolt gun in 223 with a 5/8x24 thread. I wonder how the 30 cal and 6.5 cal brakes work on this 223. The generic 30cal fish gill brake seems to work well and the JP 3 port works much better on my 6.5 gas gun than the VG6 gamma brake. So many PRS designed brakes to test. I'd love to see: PVA Jet blast brake, APA Gen 2 Lil Bastard, hellfire, SJC Titan, badger ordinance FTE, Coletac self timing brake... so many options...
