Abstract
A muzzle brake (20) for a gun tube (12) defining a bore (40) centred on a longitudinal axis (32). The muzzle brake (20) comprises a top plate (24) and a bottom plate (26). A first wall section (100), a second wall section (200) and a third wall section (300) extend from the top plate (24) to the bottom plate (26).The second wall section (200) extends from the first wall section (100) to a first baffle (220). The third wall section (300) extends from the second wall section (200) to a second baffle (320). The second wall section (200), top plate (24) and bottom plate (26) converge towards the longitudinal axis (32) and the first baffle (220), such that the second wall section (200), top plate (24), bottom plate (26) and first baffle (220) define a first compression cone (224). The third wall section (300), top plate (24) and bottom plate (26) converge towards the longitudinal axis (32) and the second baffle (320) such that the third wall section (300), top plate (24), bottom plate (26) and second baffle (320) defines a second compression cone (324).
