There is no federal law prohibiting the use of muzzle brakes on firearms, however, some states have enacted laws restricting their use. Additionally, some shooting ranges prohibit the use of muzzle brakes due to the noise they produce. Muzzle brakes are most commonly used on high-powered rifles to reduce recoil, however, they can be used on any type of firearm. While muzzle brakes are legal, it is always important to check local laws and regulations before using one.
