A muzzle brake is a device that is attached to the muzzle of a firearm to redirect propellant gases exiting the barrel in order to reduce recoil. They are typically used on rifles and shotguns but can be used on other firearms as well.
Muzzle brakes can be made from a variety of materials, including steel, aluminum, brass, and plastic. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes and can be installed either permanently or temporarily.
