[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1967702, member: 2736"] The answer is equal and opposing, at 90 degrees to the bore centerline causes the least unnatural deflection. The number, size, the shape and the spacing all have a role in how effective the brake is in certain applications. The are designed to handle the volume of gas for a certain for each cartridge to get maximum performance for different needs. These differences in all categories are what make a brake best for the need and use intended. Any time you fire a weapon without hearing protection you risk or do damage to your ears whether it is braked or not. Some brakes are louder to the shooter and some to the bystander depending on the design but they all produce more sound than the ears can safely handle. Also what we have found, and can prove, is that brakes with non apposing ports can and do apply uneven forces on the barrel and stocks. Brakes have ports that have apposing and equal Ports don't impart unequal forces on the weapon because if they are equal and opposite they cancel the force of each out. So whether they are side ports or radial they work equally as well as long as there are the same shape port apposing it. We just tested a brake design with the ports favoring the top and again saw some unequal side effects and detrimental results. When the video is finished it will be posted for everyone to see what happens when unequal forces are applied with this design. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
