Thread: A little play at the range with a suppressor brakes, vids

I went to the range to have a play testing the effects a suppressor & brakes on recoil.
This was just for fun & a spur of the moment thing & as such is more agricultural than how I normally test brakes.

The first one is my Kimber 308 shooting 150s at about 2800fps, it weighs 3.3 kgs, 7.3 lbs with bi & monopod.
The first shot is no brake or suppressor.
The second shot is a suppressor.
The third shot is my T2 brake, I will be building a 3 port version for the 308, 223 case.



This one is my old 300 Rum, firing Factory Remington 180s at about 3200, it weighs 3.9 kgs with bi & monopod.
The first shot is a long radial brake.
The second is a 4 port brake with adapter.
The third shot is my T2 brake.
The last shot is with nothing, watch it take off !!! if I didn't have a stop on the base it would have been long gone

Is it just me that cant see the second vid?

However I know that your brakes works as a 7lb 7wssm that I know of had a trigger issue ( Not sure what happened with that ) so it went off while just sitting on its bipod and just the owner holding onto the safety .

The thing hardly moved very impressive engineering !

I also learnt that firing 3kg Edge with 300s at 2750fps without a brake hurts as the bipod leaps 6 inches into the air.....

Man i still cant see it

thats quite a display of the difference

Very cool....spot the joiner

Very impressive! I remember the one time I fired my 300RUM prone without a brake - the way it violently jumped backwards in the video says it all

Lol, I remember those days well, all those years ago, with 220s in my 1st 300 Rum, shit they hurt....

The Edge with 300s unbraked is SAVAGE

Pop shot. That was unfortunate wording sequencing immediately after Philipo's posting.

I had to stifle the obvious joke.
