US 2022/0034622 A1 · Muzzle Brake

Abstract

A muzzle brake for a firearm having an outer body with a sidewall that defines at least one aperture and an inner tube that fits inside the outer body. The inner tube includes at least one aperture that corresponds to the at least one aperture of the outer body. The inner tube is rotatably mounted to the outer body. The muzzle brake may adopt an open position in which the apertures of the outer body are in communication with the apertures of the inner tube and a closed position in which the apertures of the outer body are not in communication with the apertures of the inner tube. When in the closed position, propellant and projectiles may be easily loaded into the barrel and when in the open position, gases and heat may easily escape, which minimizes or counteracts recoil.
