Quite an interesting decision, the proper choice of words. Wiki def "A muzzle brake, used to counter the recoil of a firearm, or to prevent the muzzle from climbing due to kickback from the rapid firing of an automatic or semi-automatic weapon" How fun!
My real trigger was the condescending nature of the post. Ironically, a question about the piece followed the "tidbit" of wisdom. Next time I will use "muzzle break" to describe such an apparatus to prevent confusion. Thank You, hitmanNo2, for the constructive response.
