      Larger cans reduce signature, but come at the cost of weight and size, and increasingly limited mounting options. .30cal can with a .264 (if you don't trust your barrel)/.223 end cap is the best way to go when considering the pesky NFA.

    I am coming from many years of machinist/engineer/gunsmith. The science of recoil starts with the weight of the gun, size of bullet, amount of powder, and so on. Most people try to compare the recoil without matching the weight of the guns. A 20 LB gun doesn't kick like a 5 LB gun. I enjoyed seeing the degree of data you went with! The gas guns can be configured by changing the amount of gas used by the action, to change felt recoil. There are many ways to skin this cat! I have 6mm, 6.5mm, and 308 calibers that all run 308 muzzle devices. The differences are too small to notice.

      Amount of gas pressure at the muzzle as the bullet exits matters as well as you get a short jet propulsion effect. In fact this is where a LOT of the recoil comes from IMO, which is why a brake makes such a difference, redirecting a large portion of these gases reduces the propulsion effect or even counters if diverted to the rear vs 90* to the side.

      @@meanman6992capturing the gases is the key to a Can. many times we forget about the gases that escape before the bullet jumps to the rifling lands. the issues with a Can is controlling what gases escape and how fast the gases are moving. if we use a delayed rolling block to open a port to capture excess gas to the side, we could reduce the need for a Can, but timing would be an issue for BBL length and ammo used. the tolerances for a Can isn't that important for the velocity of the projectile. but we must leave room for the people that overthink the process.

    Fun Fact: Back when the Army was developing the M1A / M14 They did some testing on the muzzle device for accuracy / bullet clearance. They discovered that if they reamed out the muzzle break to nearly .40 cal, the accuracy improved. I believe the reason these breaks are so similar in their performance is because they all have nearly identical baffle area for the gas to act against. This is why the JP Ent. "Tanker" muzzle break is one of the best brakes: the sheer size of it's baffle area.

    The 22-250 is burning alot more powder than the 223rem, and no gas is being pulled off for the action so the 22-250 has a significantly higher volume of gas to make the brake work efficiently.
    The brakes on the ar-15, might slightly increase gas volume to the action making the bolt unlock faster, account for the internal bump to be higher with the brakes.

    Interesting geometry difference between the brakes... although all 3 use the same number of ports, the shape internally is different due to the larger bore diameter. What looks like the same sized slots from the outside, actually has 3 different port sizes internally meeting the bore.
    The losses you'd expect in efficiency of the brake from being oversized (and less able to grab the highest pressure gases from the muzzle exhaust stream, are almost completely offset by the larger side port openings this variable provides. It's not a huge amount, but when talking about pressures seen out the muzzle, it seems to add up. That second pulse timing delay between brakes really suggests one working better than the other 2 to reduce bolt speed (and lengthen the second recoil pulse delay).

    A few years ago I was searching the internet for muzzle brake for 6mm Creedmoor. I wonted a brake with ports angle rearward & I found the Ultradyne Apollo Max! Put it on my rifle & was amazed with the reduction in recoil. With out the brake I was over 1" moa & with it sub 1/2" groups. My best groups have been 1/4" @ 100yds. This is with a factory Savage 12 rifle & my handloads! My handloads are not any thing special, 105gr. factory seconds FC brass $ StaBall 6.5 powder!!!

    12:01 Can I assume that the peaks at about 5.4 ms are the bullet recoil the breaks are unable to counter and that the peaks at ~6.2 ms is the gas recoil the break do counter?

    I would love to be to see a brake test on shotguns. There are several "howitzer" styles brakes and one says 70% recoil reduction. I'd love to see a comparison, since I'm considering a bullpup (nice and short) shotgun for hiking

    Idea for "Round 3 of the Oversized Brake Recoil test". Redo your chapter 1 except reduce the outside diameter of the smaller bore sized brakes to make the surface areas that the exhausting gasses work against the same across all the brakes. This would show if it is actually the clearance that makes these slight differences in recoil in these last two tests or if it is the extra surface area on the smaller ID brakes.

    I can see complications checking accuracy with different bore diameters in the brakes. For one they would weigh slightly less with more material removed could affect barrel harmonics.

    If only someone made a bolt action rifle in .223 caliber... you'd be able to directly compare the recoil characteristics between a bolt action and a semi-auto buffered system, and not compare a .223 AR to a .22-250 bolt.

    I want to give one idea yet - there are devices for recoil which are like extra mass on spring and is located in a stock (mostly European rifles).
    I don't think it lowers a recoil but I suppose it "stretches" it.
    Your rig is right what can tell what exactly it does.

    Just as I was debating if running 7.62 brakes on my 6.8 spc 18in and 6.5 grendel 20in builds is worth the savings. Just hunting rifles so not sure the extra money for specific brakes are worth it. The grendel is more range/ hunting gun. Both on AR platform.

    If your setup can handle it, it'd be really cool to see you put some of @KentuckyBallistics guns on your recoil sled. Especially his .577 T-Rex, .416 Rigby, and 4-bore rifles. Maybe compare them to some more common large bore calibers. I don't know if the extreme recoil would damage your sled though.

  • @ivang18
    @ivang18 2 місяці тому

    Gavin, I'm interested in the delay of the slam back that was observed. I believe this occurred on the more constrained break. It seems this constrain build up enough energy to hold back the bolt a bit longer,, before being released, causes a longer time gap between the recoil felt vs the slam back curve, or was it just a different powder burn rate, perhaps...an anomaly? Was this delay captured in a repeated test? This delay can relate to an upcoming accuracy behavior. What was your conclusion?

  • @dougmcfee8351

    it would be interesting to see what happens doing this same test with a 6.5-300. just thinking about it being a magnum might show greater differences between breaks or it might be even less difference either way very interesting to think about. I personally would predict that the differences would be less not more.

  • @patrickw9520
    @patrickw9520 3 місяці тому

    I would imagine it would be a lot like subcaliber use of a suppressor. Still would be effective, but not as effective. In a worst case scenario, you start getting accuracy issues down the road, unlike with suppressors where larger bore clearance can enhance accuracy (because contained)

  • @BuckF0eJiden

    Port geometry would almost definitely have more to do with recoil mitigation than brake bore diameter among common AR bore dismeters.

  • @hueco5002
    @hueco5002 Місяць тому

    At the range muzzle brakes are loud ! I have had shooters next to me ask if I was shooting a .308 due to the noise .
    I did see a tighter group of 1/4” less @ 110 yards (100 meters)on a bench shooting with a bipod . The muzzle brake was large and heavier than the standard muzzle suppressor it replaced . I can’t tell you if the weight helped accuracy , the reduced recoil or a combination of both .
    My guess would be the weight and harmonics since this was only a 223 55 grain round . The AR15 shoots sub MOA @ with .560 3 shot group . Which for an inexpensive PSA 20” 1/7 twist barrel out of the box is exceptional . I do have a 3 pound trigger from Timney .
    I tried heavier rounds with different manufacturer’s but the best was with Hornady #8327 223 REM Varmint Express .
    There is never a dull moment ( frustrating sometimes ) playing around with guns .😂

  • @BC-pv9gn
    @BC-pv9gn 3 місяці тому

    So my question is, with such a small difference in the recoil force between the different sizes, were you chronographing your shots? Would those small differences be affected by a slightly hotter/colder load, and are they within that amount of variation?

  • @corcorandm

    Nice charts. how much does the brake weigh and can you get the data for no brake but with adding the weight of the brake?
    Also sound, how harsh is the sound for the brakes?

  • @ukuskota4106
    @ukuskota4106 3 місяці тому

    Interesting to see recoil testing of silencers on different guns.
    For example, FN FAL is very silencer dependent so it has more bolt speed so brass is everywhere.
    So "second event" will tell a lot about it.

  • @natedsmeclipse

    Good video, good data. However, I would like to see this on a much larger scale! We are seeing a difference in recoil on a small scale (223) about as small as it gets. I personally shoot erl, 33xc in the light class and 37xc in the heavy and had tested many breaks. I can personally tell you the size of the hole and recoil is multiplied when dealing with larger rounds. We are seeing a max difference of porce lbs with the 223. How much of difference would we see with a large heavy hitter. I would guess we would see a much larger margin. Please do an analysis on a much larger rifle. 338lm or bigger!

  • @RealKingOfTheLab
    @RealKingOfTheLab 3 місяці тому +1

    As expected, a brake is better than none, but the difference in clearance is so minimal it doesn't really matter.
    Interesting note, the delayed second impact doesn't show a correlation to bore diameter like the initial spikes do. Instead, it appears the timing of that bolt-speed based spike (the second group) is likely more related to the actual baffle/port geometry. My guess, is that the more total side port area (i.e. the number and size of the ports combined)... but maybe even the baffle angle?
    What this shows isn't JUST that gas pushes the bolt back when the bullet is in the barrel, but also the jet-engine effect for it gases escaping forward instead of sideways out the brakes... and the more gas diverted sideways, the more you limit that post-exit impulse generation.
    I feel like I want to try a similar test with a IWI TS12 12-gauge semi-auto. JMAC custom's 4-port brake (the 4C-12) has massive baffles and makes a huge difference... but the 2-position gas block of the TS12 allows more venting of gases through the block to soften the recoil and slow that bolt carriage speed. A rig like this would show some interesting data to see just how much that adjustable block slows the bolt.
    Very cool set up!
