I mean very loud, no one wants to stand next to you.Like this Precision Armament Severe Duty Muzzle Brake with large side ports and smaller upwards ports for some reduced muzzle rise. I recommend Muzzle Brakes with side ports if your goal is to reduce recoil as much as possible. This is why the terms compensator and muzzle break are so often interchangeable. However, they do make muzzle breaks with angled or ports on the top of the device which can also reduce muzzle rise and movement on top of recoil. Angled Ports – Reduce recoil, muzzle rise, and muzzle movement.Upwards Ports – Reduce muzzle rise and recoil.

Side Ports – Reduce recoil and sideways muzzle movement.

The gasses leaving the barrel in this way will pull the firearm forward, working against the natural backwards motion of the weapon, causing the shooter to feel less recoil. The muzzle brake is connected to the end of barrel and will direct some of the expelled gasses to the sides, backwards, or upwards to reduce recoil and muzzle rise. Just keep in mind that many shooters will call a comp a muzzle brake and vice versa. I say almost because there are differences unique to each. The term muzzle brake and compensator are almost interchangeable now. I recommend the Noveske Flash Suppressor if you’d like to reduce flash, and some noise on the firing line.

That way, a large expanding gas bubble is never formed in the first place. The hot gasses expand rapidly, creating a bubble which is illuminated.įlash hiders work by disrupting this bubble from being formed in the first place, by dissipating the gasses into different directions. The muzzle flash is not actually unburned powder leaving the barrel, instead it’s caused by the extremely hot gasses meeting with cooler air. This is the most common type of muzzle device because most AR type weapons come with one from the factory. The flash hider model used in both Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 is a VLTOR VC-1.Flash hiders are designed to reduce the amount of flash seen from the end of the barrel when firing.The Flash Hider originally provided only the neutral benefit of hiding a weapon's muzzle flash, but was given a 17% slower aiming spread decrease penalty with the 2015 Spring update.Interestingly, the handgun variant of the Flash Hider is called PistolMuzzleBreak in the game files, whereas the actual pistol Muzzle Brake is just referred to as MuzzleBreakLight.Players can only equip the flash suppressor on Carbines, Assault Rifles, LMGs, PDWs, and the SKS, while DICE developers can also equip it on other semi-automatic and bolt-action sniper rifles.Staghound T17E1 - Improved Loading Mechanism Ĭhurchill Mk VII - Improved Loading Mechanism Ĭhurchill Gun Carrier - Reinforced Tracks įlakpanzer IV - Improved Transverse Rotation
