Thread: T3 Terminator Muzzle Brakes

I have fired several rounds through each of them, most of them on many occasions over the last year or so & recorded their average recoil movement in relation to each other.
There is a small difference between some of the measurements, but it takes little movement for your shoulder to be able to notice.
I can tell you from my testing that seemingly subtle changes to the brake can make a big impact to how efficently they work.
Having fired over 250 rounds of 338 Lapua magnum & plenty of 338 Imp, 338 Edge, 7mm Rum, 7mmRm, 308 & 708, you can understand the cost in ammo & time is considerable, let alone wear & tear on barrels.

I may do some suppressor comparisons, but initial tests have shown they reduce recoil less than a muzzle brake.


I didn't just pluck numbers out of thin air like I see all the time, like reduces recoil by over 60% or another classic on TM by over 90%

It's a bugger that there was no kind of quantitative measuring device available for the tests, it would've almost been worth it given the amount of effort you've put into testing, improvement, and comparison!

I doubt Kiwi Greg is keen to divulge his methodology, the design and manufacture of the test rig could have easily taken more time than the testing of the brakes, very few are keen to release costly intellectual assets.

Ask Shawn Carlock what the dimensions of his new Edge+P chamber are, or what powder he uses in it, you will get a smile and a wave.
