The ‘Delta’ Muzzle Brake.
A muzzle brake is a device fitted over the end of a gun barrel to reduce recoil when the
weapon is fired. According to Newton’s Law, for every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction.
 |
The action of a bullet fired, which is then driven by expanding gases down the barrel
causes the recoil reaction. When designing a device that reduces recoil, only the action
of the expanding gases can be used, without interference of the bullet traveling through
the barrel. Most brakes on the market are not efficient, typically using a cylindrical body
which only diverts the gasses sideways, (exhausting through holes drilled in the side.)

By utilizing my ‘state of the art’ design software and machine shop, I have achieved an
unprecedented 75% to 85% reduction in recoil, depending on powder load. This is accomplished
by using the entire energy of all the expanding gasses. As soon as the bullet
leaves the barrel the gasses are directed through a tapered chamber, across ‘turbine like’
stationary blades, backwards and up, in the opposite direction of the bullet. This forces
the gasses gradually through the blades, changing their
direction before they exit. In doing this the gasses
are directed slightly up which eliminates
‘muzzle jump’, also not disturbing any
dust on the ground if fired in
the ‘prone’ position.Both being the ‘snipers’ worst enemies. Because the
gasses have to travel along different distances through
the brake before exiting, the shock wave produced is
much less powerful at the front which means lower
decibels projected forward. High velocity magnums that
burn more powder have shown excellent results. Flash
elimination/suppressor.

The use of lighter powder loads,
therefore incomplete burning of powder, which in turn
produces a flash which when exhausted through this
brake is almost totally eliminated. The brake is easily attached
by screwing to the end of the barrel, then locked
tight with 2 small screws. This will void vibrating loose
during use. A new design for the AR15 rifle is now available,
again accomplishing 75% to 85% recoil reduction,
along with significant noise reduction projected forward.
It is smaller and shorter by 1.5 inches, therefore
lighter than the 7oz of the unit pictured in this brochure.
The muzzle brake as pictured in the brochure is 4.5
inches long, made of 17-4 stainless steel. 7/8Th’s inch
thickness at the barrel end tapering down to 5/8Th’s at
the tip. 1 and 5.8Th’s wide at the barrel end, tapering
down to 1 and 3/8Th’s at the tip. The wall thickness is
between .06 and .1 inch, minimum’s necessary to enable
safety of operation. By manufacturing with available
titanium, weight will be reduced to approximately 4oz,
however expense of material would double the cost.
Any Mil Spec requirements may be incorporated in my
design, along with any color, ‘flat’ camouflage, black,
sand or tan. The design is patent pending.
