A muzzle brake or recoil compensator is a device connected to, or a feature integral (ported barrel) to the construction of, the muzzle or barrel of a firearm or cannon that is intended to redirect a portion of propellant gases to counter recoil and unwanted muzzle rise. [1] Barrels with an integral muzzle brake are often said to be ported.

A flash suppressor is different from a muzzle brake, although they are typically mounted in the same position and sometimes confused with each other. While the former is intended to reduce visible flash, a muzzle brake is designed to reduce recoil inherent to large cartridges and typically does not reduce visible flash. [1]
M1A1C: M1A1 threaded for muzzle brake [18] M1A2: M1A1C with rifling twist changed from 1:40 calibers to 1:32 calibers [46] A muzzle brake was tested in January 1944, authorized in February 1944 with production starting June 1944.

Animation of the Vickers muzzle booster operation, showing the expanding gases pushing the barrel to the rear relative to the cooling jacket. A Vickers-type muzzle (or recoil) booster, the "typical" type, consists of two parts: a flared "cup" on the muzzle of the barrel, and a perforated tube around the end of the muzzle, attached to the main body of the weapon.
Saboted ammunition should not be used in firearms with muzzle brakes unless the muzzle brake has been specifically designed for such use. [1] 50 SLAP ammunition is completely interoperable with M2 machine guns with stellite liner.
