[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1142430, member: 13110"] The basic gist of ported muzzle brake effectiveness is the height of the baffle wall and the angle of the ports. The taller the ports (larger diameter for round or thicker for slab as long as the port size changes with size) the better they work and the more the ports angle to the rear the more effective they are. As you angle them to the rear more they become louder and have more concussion. So while the FB and the 4 Star (I think it's called) that they tested are the most effect they are also the loudest. No free lunch here. The straight port brakes don't work as well as angled back ports. Look at the designs and where they ranked and you will see what I'm talking about. You'll see a ton of brakes bunched together because it is a compromise between effectiveness and muzzle blast/concussion/noise for the shooter. Or they just don't realize what they are doing and they are making something tacticool. Looks sells as much as function for some people. [/QUOTE]
