It is the exact function of our modular system, like legos™ of the spudgun world. Everything fits with everything else and can be reconfigured to suit different needs.

One word, sexual.

That is a sweet looking muzzle break, much better than your last one.

Looking forward to some evening shots to see for "star" muzzle flash.

That sounds sweet, gotta love the star of fire, it will be weird seeing it coming out of a spudgun, and not an m16, but you don't see me complaining

thats sweet, will the muzzle break release the gasses evenly and quiet it down, or is it just for looks? and have you guys ever thought of making cheaper models of your guns, like mini versions? just wondering

The idea is that the expanding gases will strike the front inside of the scallops and "brake" some of the recoil... I haven't fired since assembly.

If you check out the web site there is some standard spray and play kits in the $100 range. The modular system allows for upgrades at a later date. One customer on a budget is building his own BL-520. He is starting with http://ultimatespudgun.com/product_info ... cts_id=212 and http://ultimatespudgun.com/product_info ... cts_id=182. which will allow him spray and shoot until he upgrades to fuel metering/Pistol grip ignition.

We did make some super carbine BL-415s and they were a hit at the vegas gun show. They were 36". I'll post some pics when I can.

A muzzle break can also reduce turbulence which is good for everything as turbulence could cause tumbling during flight.

Looking very nice.

From what I understood, the brake exits the mass of the gas perpendicular to the barrel so the mass isn't ejected forward. As it does this the recoil from ejecting gas forward is reduced as less mass is ejected in that direction.

As far as noise, it is louder for the shooter and people to the side of the barrel, but quieter downrange. The noise direction is changed.

The reduced intensity of the muzzle blast following the projectile does reduce the tumble induced by the blast. We studied it for the t shirt competition. It actually helped the range by reducing early tumble of launched shirts. Thanks to the loan of a HS camera, we were able to see and solve the early tumble problems. We had shirts turning almost 30 degrees 5 feet from the muzzle at first.

Hadn't thought about it like that, makes sense.
