Cancellation muzzle brake assembly

Abstract

A muzzle brake assembly for a firearm provides several benefits including an ability to reduce firearm recoil by redirecting the propellant gases and reshaping the pressure wave in a new manner, reduction or substantial elimination of muzzle movement upon discharge, lessening the acoustic signature of the firearm closer to non-braked levels and relatively easy and low cost to manufacture by current machining practices thereby minimizing cost of manufacturing. Ports in the muzzle brake assembly are arranged opposing one another about a circumference of the muzzle brake assembly.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The present patent application is a formalization of previously filed, co-pending U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 583,942, filed Jan. 6, 2012 by the named inventor of the present Application. This patent application claims the benefit of the filing date of this cited Provisional patent application according to the statutes and rules governing provisional patent applications, particularly 35 U.S.C. §119(a)(i) and 37 C.F.R. §1.78(a)(4) and (a)(5). The specification and drawings of the Provisional patent application referenced above are specifically incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in their entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE[0002]1. Field of the Present Disclosure[0003]The present disclosure is directed generally to a muzzle brake assembly for mounting on a muzzle of a firearm to provide a reduction in the felt recoil and muzzle jump of the firearm upon firing, while additionally providing a reductio...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present patent is about a new muzzle brake assembly for firearms that reduces recoil, lessens muzzle movement, and reduces the acoustic signature of the firearm as compared to conventional brake designs. The assembly includes a body that is attached to the end of the firearm barrel and has several ports that allow for the exhaust of gas generated from firing a round of ammunition. The ports are arranged in pairs, and the exhaust of gases from one pair of ports is directed to intermix with the exhaust of gases from the other pair, resulting in a reduction in muzzle movement, sound, and recoil effect. Overall, the muzzle brake assembly has a relatively easy and low cost of manufacture and is designed to minimize the cost of manufacturing.

Problems solved by technology

This can lead to hearing problems for shooters exposed to such increased sound volumes.

Moreover, many muzzle brakes available are complicated and costly to manufacture, and can provide limited recoil reduction.
