sometimes a giant puff of dirt from wherever you're firing from is a bad thing.

A better thread died for this.

Why do muzzle brakes exist?

>>32840556
It doesn't have to direct the propellant gases downwards.

>>32840583
For high speed low drag operation.

and a muzzle brake that pushes your rifle down is good for marksmanship, and it's possible to tightly control all the gas that's now flying back towards you, let alone all the air it displaces.

Less cost to not include them. Or more fun to have a bull barrel to make the noise louder to piss off the renters at the range.

Have fun shooting that at night or indoors without a can. I'm sure the person beside you while you're shooting will really love you.
