Thread: DPT braked cans

Yes, I would love to shoot a radial brake in front of my moderator which will then result in deposits of dirt/sand/dust going in if shooting from low-prone...

Shame as I have a DPT Mk2 and like it.

The muzzle brake front cap is an optional extra. You can still purchase our standard range of suppressors without it.

If you don’t like the idea, then don’t buy one. But don’t whinge about something you have not tried.

The ignore list is good for bullshit artists like this guy

how are points of impact varying if switch betwen conventional end cp Vs baffled one ??? EG is it feasable to carry with end cap for point n shoot but add ported for the longer shots??? sort of how fellas are using bare barrel and a brake at present....
has anyone tried it to see???

This is not something we have tested and will be dependent on the rifle.

I would buy one and use it on my MK2 exactly how MD described if the POI didn't change.

These aren’t loud, either use it or don’t. Wouldn’t bother unscrewing and screwing it back on.

I've just added a brake to my dpt mark 2, took it straight out to 650 yards on a cleaned barrel, after 12 or so shots it settled down to group a half moa high and right. Everybody landed on steel, looks to be about 800 square or maybe a meter square sized plate

Hmmmmm....
@DPT can you do these with smaller ports, slightly longer, but a rotating cover to shut them off if you don't want the brake for whatever reason? A "best of both worlds" option? As someone stated up a bit, prone shots over pumice for one example and shooting with a radial brake is a very good way to fark your scope's lenses, I sandblasted a mates scope accidentally like that and it was lucky that it was a cheapy that was on it's last trip anyway. Rooted the front lens coating near totally.

As far as noise, if the can has reduced the gas velocity then the expectation would be that the braked end would be noisier than suppressed, but not as bad as a straight muzzle or a braked end I would expect. It would be a useful option when shooting pests and needing more muzzle control for follow up shots, and I would think that it would still scramble the noise signature enough to help stop animals from knowing exactly where the shot originated from. I think this would have it's place to be fair.

Something like that could be possible. Ill put my thinking cap on.

Would that not also influence the POI?

Put my braked can (6.5PRC) to use over the weekend. 342m shot and kept the hind in the scope the whole time so saw the shot was good from her reaction. Was no louder than the can without the brake.

Had previously checked POI and was the same with the brake and without.

Awesome - This is what i wanted to hear

For those who shoot off a backpack, be careful where you rest the end of the mod...
