Excuse my lack of knowledge, you've stated that it doesn't affect the muzzle break, but as the gas expulsion is being projected through the front of the rifle again due to the jacket (albeit in a wider pattern) wouldn't the recoil remain much the same?
Hi Joseph. No it reduces recoil significantly. The physics of it as I understand it is that the gas is directed sideways via the brake where it immediately impacts the jacket and loses most forwards ( recoil generating) velocity. It then is redirected at a much slower velocity forwards. The kinetic energy is transferred to heat in a similar way that a suppressor works
Nice one.
I've been using a similar device on my 300BLK for a few years, when required, and it makes it much more pleasant.
Great review mate. I've ordered the Wedgetail MPR 308 and will definitely be purchasing one of these. Thank You.

@@FVR375 okay, thank you kindly for the explanation.
Can the wedgetail blast jacket be fitted to other makes of rifles that are similar to the WT25?
It can. Just needs the right thread/ brake assembly. The guys at Wedgetail can supply those too 👍
Are their brakes available for the general licensed shooter or only for Cat D holders etc?
Anyone can grab one for use on any rifle 👍🐗
@@FVR375 Awesome, even better is supporting Aussie made 👍🏻
What is the dimensions? How much lenth dose it add to the rifle?
Im not selling them mate. They are fairly short. Around 10cm. They don’t add much length
How much does the WT25 weigh?
The jacket is a no brainer IMHO -wow what a difference
