AR- 1. 5 Muzzle Brake Shootout #3. Welcome to the third installment of our 5. This time around we’ve put 4. Recoil Testing. The procedure for this test was the same as the previous brake tests. You can find the first one here, the second one there, and a . For the Operators out there, we got a sweet Lux meter and tested the muzzle signature reduction effectiveness of various flash hiders, brakes, and comps.
Flash hiding test #1 is here, and #2 here. As the protocol remained the same as before, we’ll keep the description of it quick. For more info, refer to the video above and/or the previous 5.
My AR- 1. 5 was strapped to the test rig, which was free to slide on a plastic table. I measured how far the rig slid back for each shot. This is one method of quantifying rearwards recoil energy. Bare muzzle is the basis for comparison against which all of the muzzle devices are measured. Only a single round of Federal American Eagle XM1.
The rifle’s Adams Arms XLP gas piston system was turned off. This means the action did not cycle — the bolt remained locked in battery — and each round was manually ejected before loading the next. Each muzzle device was timed properly, and tested twice. Recoil distance was measured in 1/1. All of the data here has been converted from that to decimals. As simple and as “redneck” as this test looks — and is, sure — the average difference between the shortest slide and the farthest slide across all 4.
It’s highly consistent and repeatable. Without further ado, our recoil reduction winner is. A new champion has been crowned! The Precision Armament M4- 7. Joffrey’d by the SJC Titan. It’s no fluke, either. After the initial round of testing I took another trip to the woods and did back- to- back testing with three types of ammo and different recoil sled weights, and the Titan always beat out the M4- 7.
In the initial testing, the SJC Titan reduced recoil by 7. The M4- 7. 2’s performance was consistent with the previous shootouts, reducing recoil by 7. Titan. M4- 7. 2The Titan is larger and heavier than the M4- 7. At least on the first shot in a string, as both of them get significantly less fiery — becoming basically equivalent — on subsequent shots. I believe the blast/wind from both of these brakes is approximately the same, but the Titan may have a little more concussion that your neighbors at the range will feel.
You’ll find a split- screen, slow- mo comparison of each brake during rapid, offhand firing in the video here. Note: there is no comparison whatsoever between the inch measurements in this test and those in the previous 5. The important stat is the recoil reduction as a percentage, which has proven pleasingly consistent. Recoil test results for all of the entrants can be seen in the graphs and tables below.

Listed alphabetically. All stated weights and dimensions are as measured by me. I noted obvious errors on many manufacturers’ sites so chose not to use any of their info across the board.
Arms 5. 5. 6/. 2. Compensator: I wasn’t familiar with 2. Arms prior to coming across this comp, and I’m glad that I did.
It’s a very compact, extremely lightweight compensator that truly surprised me with its recoil reduction performance. Material choice and machining are top quality. I’m not a huge black oxide fan, but 2. Arms has done it here as nicely as it can be done.
Concussion was minimal, and based on the slow- mo footage it compensates for muzzle rise fairly aggressively. Click here to jump to its point in the video. Material: 1. 7- 4. PH stainless steel.
Finish: black oxide. Length: 1. 7. 52. In this test against tough competitors it ended up middle- of- the- road, but over 6. A small gas vent hole above the first port (I managed to photograph it upside- down) provides a hint of muzzle rise compensation, which I think is just the right amount. Machining is clean, if simple, with no visible tool marks.
Nitride finish is nicely done and has held up well on the high- mileage loaner unit I borrowed for this test. Click here to jump to its point in the video. Material: steel. Finish: Salt Bath Nitride (QPQ)Length: 2. In the 1. 60+ muzzle devices I’ve tested, this was the first one that had to receive a DQ — I simply couldn’t install it. I’m fully willing to believe that this was a complete and total fluke, and Armageddon Tactical immediately offered a replacement, no questions asked, while also stating that they’ll be upping their inspection protocol to ensure this can’t happen in the future. I didn’t take the replacement, though, as running a 1/2- 2.
Melonite is really hard, by the way — resolved the problem completely. While it had to be DQ’d for the primary testing with the rest of these brakes, I did bring it out the following weekend when doing further testing between the SJC Titan and the Precision Armament M4- 7. In that testing, it reduced recoil by 6. Click here to jump to its point in the video. Material: 4. 14. 0 steel. Finish: Melonite QPQLength: 2. I wasn’t expecting a lot of recoil- reducing performance, but cutting it by over 5.
I dig subtle machine marks that show a piece like this has been turned down from stock on a lathe, and the Black Dawn wears it proudly. The nitride finish is very nice.
Although I’d really appreciate 1. I understand that a narrow, 3/8. Although it isn’t currently available for purchase separately, I was able to get my hands on one and figured we may as well include it in this test, especially considering the unique design. It’s certainly an extremely effective brake, cutting recoil by a hair over 7.
The Cerakote job on my sample was done evenly and thoroughly, but the machining leaves something to be desired. Actually, most of it is crisp and clean, but on the flat, recessed area on both top and bottom and the wrench flats at rear, there are obvious tool marks that are deep enough to be felt with a fingernail. This brake should have been tumbled and/or media blasted after it was machined.
Click here to jump to its point in the video. Material: steel. Finish: Cerakote (or similar)Length: 3. It’s an effective dual chamber brake with top vents to combat muzzle rise, muzzle prongs for flash reduction, and no flaws or tool marks that I can see.
Click here to jump to its point in the video. Material: steel. Finish: black nitride. Length: 2. 4. 06. That said, Dead Air’s pricing is far lower than the typical QD- mount brake, and it’s a good looking, flawlessly machined and finished piece. Click here to jump to its point in the video. Material: steel (“high strength corrosion resistant alloy”)Finish: black nitride. Length: 2. 6. 04.
Handy. It’s well- established that suppressors do reduce recoil, although to varying degrees (like brakes and comps) based on design, caliber, and more. There has been a lot of back- and- forth in the industry about swappable suppressor end caps, though, with some stating that they’re nothing but a marketing ploy to sell accessories while some insist that they’re truly effective at reducing volume levels when shooting smaller diameter calibers through an oversized bore.
Although I don’t yet have access to professional d. B metering equipment to test volume level claims, I figured the same gas- trapping principals were likely to lead to a change in recoil reduction. And, indeed, this is what we found. When shooting 5. 5.
Sandman Ti reduced rearwards recoil by 4. After switching to the .
In my subjective opinion doing a little shooting out in the woods, I did also find it slightly quieter with the correctly- bored end cap. Not much, but enough to notice and to be relatively confident of it.
Machining and finish, like on the brake, is as good as it gets. I like this suppressor a lot. For the record, I used a Precision Armament thread adapter to thread the 5/8- 2. Click here to jump to its point in the video.
Material: Titanium tube, Stellite baffle core. Finish: Cerakote. Length: 8. 2. Clearly, a lot of people find the triangular shape compelling and wanted to know how the recoil reduction stacks up. In this tough competition it didn’t come within sight of the podium, but cutting recoil by more than half (5. Only at close- up inspection do minor flaws in machining and finish become apparent. Light tool marks on the circumference, a couple nicks on the 9.
Overall though it’s very good, and were it not for the close scrutiny of this test and the tough competition, it probably wouldn’t be noticed. Click here to jump to its point in the video. Material: hardened steel.
Finish: black. Length: 2. The packaging states a 6.
From a compact, 2- port brake, this is really impressive. Personally, I’d be an even bigger fan if the top ports were smaller, as I think they provide too much downwards force, but this is completely subjective and affects every shooter differently. Machining and finish are perfect. Click here to jump to its point in the video. Material: 4. 14. 0 steel or 1.
Finish: Mil- spec Parkerize, or raw. Length: 1. 7. 52. Machining and finish are excellent. Quality is obviously quite high and it does look pretty badass. Recoil reduction performance is good, but nothing to write home about compared to other brakes of its size.
Click here to jump to its point in the video. Material: 4. 14. 0 steel. Finish: black nitride. Length: 2. 2. 86. This is the Hammer Comp, a combo compensator / brake / flash suppressor. We found in Flash Hiding Test #2 that it’s about 3.
A2, which is a significant flash reduction vs. Quality is excellent in every way.
It’s a very clean piece. Click here to jump to its point in the video. Material: 1. 7- 4. PH stainless steel. Finish: black oxide.
Length: 1. 7. 51. It’s longer, so it may not work with some other brands of suppressors made to mount on an A2. Considering the low concussion, decent recoil reduction, and quality machining and finish, it’s a good choice with or without a suppressor attached. Click here to jump to its point in the video.
