    With regards to the comment about the port (or lack thereof) at 6 0'clock, often the reason the muzzle brakes do not have a port at 6 but have one at 12 is the gas that is expelled upwards helps to keep the muzzle down by applying "thrust" in an upwards direction. If there is a matching port at 6 then the upwards jump of the rifle is not countered. This way the same force that reduces recoil also reduces barrel jump as well.
