The blast and flash are caused by the combustion products of the gunpowder, and any remaining unburned powder, mixing with ambient air. Muzzle flash is the term used to describe the light emitted during the muzzle blast, which can be both visible and infrared.It is desirable, therefore, to provide a firearm where muzzle climb is substantially eliminated or directionally controlled so as to aid, rather than hamper, efficient and accurate rapid firing. re-aiming can cost the shooter precious time.the firearm must be re-aimed at the target after each shot as quickly as possible to ensure accuracy.Muzzle climb is especially undesirable in instances where multiple rounds of ammunition are fired in quick succession, due to the tendency of the firearm to be completely misaligned with respect to the target.If this force is above the center of the shooter's contact point on the firearm, this creates a torque, which causes the firearm to rotate about the point of contact and the muzzle end of the barrel to rise upwards. The forces generated from the projectile being fired, and the propellant gases exiting the muzzle, act directly down the barrel/firing axis of the firearm, back toward the shooter. In the majority of firearms, the firing axis of the barrel is above the center of contact between the shooter and the firearm's grip and stock. the primary reason for muzzle climb is the inherent configuration of most firearms.This rising up or climbing effect of the muzzle end of the barrel is commonly known as “muzzle rise” or “muzzle climb.”.This discharge of propellant gases may also cause the muzzle end of the barrel to undesirably rise up subsequent to firing.the present invention relates generally to firearms and, more particularly, to a flash hider muzzle device or muzzle brake for firearms that reduces the noise signature of the firearm, concussion, perceived recoil of the firearm, dust signature of the firearm, and muzzle flash.F41A21/36- Muzzle attachments or glands for recoil reduction Stabilisators Compensators, e.g.F41A21/32- Muzzle attachments or glands.F41A21/00- Barrels Gun tubes Muzzle attachments Barrel mounting means.CANNONS MOUNTINGS FOR SMALLARMS OR ORDNANCE
