morning, I use vias muzzle brakes, very efficient. THK. U lightbulbgun)
This isn't exactly accurate. A brake doesn't make a rifle louder, it's been proven many times. They do redirect the gases and expose the shooter to more concussion/direct blast.
Terminator brakes don't have a straight port and then 3 angled ones. That is a muscle brake. The Terminator brakes are 5 ports too.
The bottom line is the most effective brakes have the most concussion because the ports are angled back towards the shooter the most. I've tested tons of them and the ones that reduce the most recoil sure don't have 90 degree ports.
Honestly a person should be wearing hearing protection anytime you shoot a rifle without a suppressor and especially so when you run a brake of any kind.

Sometimes some folks on the 'net think they know what other people have. I have the Terminator 3. You need to re-read my description. The first port is cut angled in the front of the port and straight across in the back part of the port. The other threee ports are angled back. I don't have a muscle brake. I have two Terminator brakes. I purchased them from Terminator.
The brake with the most concussion I ever experience looked like a tank brake. It was on a .223. I think it is a JP Howitzer Brake.
A Terminator T-3 has 5 ports and all of them angle back. I have one so it's not speculation on my part. Unless someone else "borrowed" the name from Terminator products in NZ and built their own brake to ride on someone elses coat tails. I have most of the major muzzle brakes on the market and test with them all the time so I'm fairly familiar with them. I manufacture my own muzzle brakes so I deal with them daily. BTW cutting the back of the port flat and having a angle in the front won't lessen the concussion.
