It was my understanding that if the attachment doesn't re-direct the gases, it is just called a muzzle/barrel weight. Of course I could be wrong as i have limited experience with such things. However the point of the weight is to compensate for the recoil so...
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.

Not a comp it's just a muzzle weight. Nice pistol, is it a new version?
Not a comp..please explain? I'm just curious since most of my RS have compensators, and I have some exp. Of course I don't know everything, so enlighten me. My real beretta 92 target has comp, for example, with the same setup: extended barrel and locking sleeve at the end. It's been discontinued for a while.

How does it shoot?
It's pretty reliable actually. I was surprised after I looked at the design of the valve. It uses the loaded bb to hold the valve open and is not spring loaded like the original hardkick piston. Goes through boxes and cans and everything. Unfortunately, I haven't chrono'ed it.

Although I purchased both an mk23 and a zeke m93r slide, I am still not used to the gray green hue. The lightweight design is good for cycling, however.

I was working on a design that would incorporate launchers on top and sides too. Stuck at firing mechanism though. Codenamed "Demon's Cross" (paradoxical even

Horsem4n,
The trigger pull on the kwa is too hard I believe. The FA Unit is very picky and usually only works with TK USPs, but I have owned a TK USP that didnt like the the FA Unit ( the trigger disconnect point was too far for the unit to work; the gun could only fire semi buy hand) This is purely a collector's piece since there is such a scarcity of internal parts. Fun to hold and keep lubed, but not to fire

I agree, the system looks identical, I just hope the piston head is a better design. And please let the cycling be smooth because I had a world of fun trying to tune my KJW FM to fire even 1/6 the reliability of a TM; good times.....

I own a similar real steel counterpart called the Beretta 92 Competition, released in 96 as a limited edition $1400 pistola..
Whether, the muzzle break adds weight or also redirects gases, it would "compensate" for the recoil of the fire arm. I do understand examples where people might want to part the two into separate categories, but it is true. Some confusing instances include ported glock models that are considered "compensated" without any extra additions and barrel weights that actually attach to the bottom of the barrel of target pistols sometimes considered "underlugs" (revolver) I really don't believe there is an arguable difference, hence the Wikipedia definition.
Terminology actually depends on the manufacturer/fabricator. One example is the directions that come with the RS Sig p226 sport. The muzzle break is actually referred to as "compensator/counterweight"
And Lastly, the "US Patent 4715140 - Compensator for handguns and the like" Issued on December 29, 1987 refers to the apparatus as a "compensator weight" a hybrid of the two terms. The main idea is to make up for the recoil, although an added feature is redirect gases.
"The weight compensator may also be provided with exhaust ports for enabling blast gas to exit upwardly through the bushing and compensator weight, which further serves to reduce recoil."
