Tested an Aluminum bolt on tank brake Loud? Probably Muzzel jump? Not much Recoil? Not much at all https://youtu.be/tmtpOVBzF6k

That's one of them evil automatics, disguised as a bolt.

Love how all the brake-using Nancy's only think of themselves, Nothing better than being at a public range with braked rifles on either or both sides of your bench, Multiple people at the local range have stated to management that they need to consider dedicating a separate range for the braked rifles, I'm tired of having items blown off my bench by the sideways blast. Took my son to the range 3 years ago, he was 13 then and sure enough we got trapped in between two braked rifles, He lost all interest in the rifle range. Did I mention I hate muzzle brakes?

There's a fix for that. Take your Weatherby or mebbe a .416 Rigby, .600 Nitro, something of that sort. When the goblins start blowing stuff off your bench, stand up, load up and retaliate. Works most days.

You obviously have never gone to a PRS match. Any rifle that doesn't run a can is braked. It greatly improves your ability to spot your hits on steel...especially when shooting from contorted and non traditional positions when shooting off various barricades.

I'm pretty sure Ted was testing out his design and machinist skills, since he built that brake.

It's your fault for sandwiching your boy between two braked rifles. You could have easily talked to either shooter and asked them to switch positions with you, or you could have packed up and called it a day. It's easy to blame other people for you being too stubborn to find a solution to the problem.

Brakes at prone matches are a major nuisance. You definitely don't want to be lying down next to a braked rifle. When someone with a brake shows up, most just shake their heads. It makes nobody happy, nor should it.
I have seen where they make the braked rifle guy either shoot before everyone else, or after. What a PITA. Not only does it prolong the time of the match, it also imparts an unfair advantage. I don't think they should be allowed in certain matches. The brake runners should run their own matches, and blow dirt and grass all over each other, and each other's scope lenses.
I have no problem if someone wants to use a brake for whatever reason, but it should not affect other shooters.........

A lot of funny post above.
I knew as I posted the clip that it would get some menstrual symptoms to float up to the top quite quickly.
I'm glad I live in the country and not in a city and am not subjected to these horrible "public" range stories.
As taylorce1 stated....this was a test of a large but light brake that I made in my shop.
It was a successful test and the next one will be made to fit a LR AR Prairie Dog rifle.

When my shoulder can no longer take the pounding, I'll drop down in rifle power, and wont kid myself into arguing with penis envy big gun physics, I'll still be able to hear it all too.

The brake....with most shooters....is usually about recoil
In this case I made it to address muzzel lift or reducing it
The brake in this test vents the gasses up and out
This allows the shooter to see a hit or miss on steel or varmints through the scope
This is why so many hunters outside of the USA use a suppressor on a hunting rifle

Right there is the problem with America, perceive a problem and want special regulations/rules to eliminate the perceived problem. We're becoming a nation of pansies one rule/regulation at a time.

Have you ever tried shooting a prone match lying next to a guy with a brake? Or are you just talking out your ass? Some may say the problem with America is people speaking of $hit of which they are obviously clueless about.....

If your fellow prone match competitors knew a brake got you that far off you're game in a competition you shouldn't be surprised to have one on both sides next week.

And yeah, I'll pack up and go home even though I have at least two hours invested and a bunch of coin, all because the range is proliferated with Sallys who need brakes on .308's, Pound sand.
