[QUOTE="D2wing, post: 2981279, member: 38516"] A muzzle brake can redirect gases to reduce recoil. Rearward momentum of the gun minus any redirected gases is the same regardless. The rearward motion of the BCG, buffer and compression of the spring spreads out the recoil making it feel softer and the energy used to move the mass and compress the spring does take up some energy reducing the recoil. More mass of reciprocating parts does absorb some energy and does slow the recoil impulse making it feel like less recoil. That's the physics. Reducing the power and mass of the charge and bullet also reduces the recoil. [/QUOTE]
