History
The Muzzle Brake and the Compensator are the different names for devices used for the same purpose, which is to reduce recoil. This barrel attachment reduces the recoil of a weapon by dispersing gas on the muzzle of the weapon. However, muzzle brakes/compensators increase the loudness and flash of the firearm.
Usage
Unlike the Compensator which reduces horizontal recoil and increases vertical recoil, the Muzzle Brake does the opposite by decreasing vertical recoil in exchange for increased horizontal drift. Weapons with huge vertical recoil such as the M231, AG-3 and FAL 50.00 can take a great advantage from the Muzzle Brake. The Muzzle Brake also finds purpose on some designated marksman rifles and dedicated single shot weapons that see use at longer ranges like the Dragunov SVU and Dragunov SVDS.
Similar to the Compensator, the Muzzle Brake does not act like a suppressor and cannot hide muzzle flash.
