Do muzzle brakes have much effect on recoil or do they blow your gun apart?

 

[Travis White]

Blow your gun apart? Not sure who's been talking to you. They DO have a effect on recoil but it makes it much louder for the shooter.

 

[JoeLee]

They reduce recoil,and blow your ears out without ear protection.

 

[Splatter]

Yes they are loud, altho a good sound suppressor is also a very effective brake.

Here is an example of a gun that needs a muzzle brake.
