[QUOTE="300magman, post: 449104, member: 24769"] So would a brake with the ports facing roughly 45 degrees forward be far quieter than a brake with ports facing straight sideways? I believe I saw something like that one this site while doing a search. Not that you can really put a number on the effectiveness of a brake, but there are companies that do claim reductions of 50% or more. Assuming that is Roughly true, that is a LOT of recoil reduction. So a brake design that faced 45 degrees forward, even if only half as effective, would still make a very noticeable recoil reduction of 25% (again, not that you can really put a # on it, but I need some way to make comparisons) This is just uneducated theory, but if that is the trade off, I personally think I would be much happier with the less effective, but quieter brake. Anyone care to weigh in on whether or not things really do work that way in practice? [/QUOTE]
