Went to the range yesterday morning with some friends.
Tosh brought his AR15 that he had built, complete with a rather impressive muzzle brake.
Not only does it push the muzzle blast to the sides and away from the shooter, it gives off some very worthy muzzle flash fireballs.
Lots of fun. Also easy to hit targets at 100 yards. Just put the dot on the bottom edge of the target and you'll hit it.
I then brought my AR in 300 Blackout for comparison.
That was fun.
Also shot the 6.5 Creedmoor at 100 yards and put most shots into the x ring of a B8 target, which was happy making. Its functioning great, especially after I gave the bolt some more oil.
We also did some pistol shooting, included some timed drills which were good as they indicated we need more practice. Which we will get in.
A great time had by all, then I went home to be productive and get some work done.

Brake. It is a muzzle brake, as it's job is to stop recoil
As Gromit states.
BRAKE.
True, and fixed, I'll blame that on internal auto-correct.
Yep, definitely impressive, but personally I like a flash 'hider'... 5.56 doesn't have enough kick to merit a muzzle brake.
Old NFO: Yep, I prefer flash hiders myself over brakes, especially as you say for 5.56.
Love the BANG, tink, BANG, tink. May have to break into the piggy bank for a 300 blackout with a can.
Nuke Road Warrior: Yep the 300 with the AAC can is a definite crowd-pleaser.
