      The Flak 18/36/41 that you're probably thinking of doesn't have a muzzle break.
      However, the KwK 36 L/56 (Tiger 1), KwK 43 L/70(King Tiger), or PaK 43(anti-tank towed piece) do have muzzlebreaks.

    Muzzle blast is no joke. I remember reading about an actor who was not very comfortable with guns but to show everyone else on the set he wasn't afraid of guns he put a .44 mag to his head and pulled the trigger. Even though the gun had blanks in it the muzzle blast killed him instantly.

    • @Jake_Hamlin
      @Jake_Hamlin Год назад +2

      Honestly not sure if it’s logical, but I wonder if no muzzle break would do more damage to the skull as the break looks to disperse the blast over more area than the end of a barrel would.

    • @LiamWakefield
      @LiamWakefield Год назад

      No muzzle break means that the gasses disperse over more of a cone in front of the barrel. The ports in the break focus the gasses.

    • @exothermal.sprocket
      @exothermal.sprocket Год назад +3

      Muzzle brakes work primarily when the bullet has left the muzzle and has not yet passed through the first set, second set, or third set of baffles. When the bullet is passing through the first baffle, there's a ton of high velocity gas exiting the muzzle behind the bullet, that gas hits the first baffle and does a 90° turn due to little room around the circumference of the bullet to pass forward, shooting out sideways. A well designed baffle will shed equal amounts of gas in opposite directions creating equalized jets of gas laterally (or diagonally backward, depending on design), the result of which being no muzzle movement, but a severe reduction in gasses left shooting forward in the direction of the bullet. That's the idea, a reduction in recoil. Recoil happens like the reaction a rocket has, the gas going one direction and the rifle going the opposite.

      Oddly enough the damage was similar to the hand belonging to the guy who used a 50 bmg round to hammer a pin on a gun mount. You can find that picture with google.

    Great episode but this makes me curious if a longer Barrel will have a more damaging muzzle blast than a shorter one. And how significant the difference would be.

    • @tjh44961
      @tjh44961 Год назад +13

      Should be less damaging -- the longer the barrel, the lower the muzzle blast pressure is. Probably not lower enough to make a difference, though!

      @tjh44961 Год назад +3

      @@joshlower3520 You might think so, but it’s actually not the case. Just like a .22 LR bullet in a long barrel is actually slowing down before it exits the muzzle, because the pressure behind it is falling, or in an AR-15 with a rifle length gas system as opposed to one with a carbine length gas system - the gas port for the longer gas system is larger than that for the shorter. It’s because the pressure is higher closer to the chamber. The port for the longer gas system is larger because it takes more volume of gas to produce the same force to operate the action reliably. The pressure is higher in the shorter system, so it uses a smaller gas port to allow enough gas volume to operate the bolt. The “normal” barrel length for the M2 BMG is 45”, so a much shorter barrel like the one in the video is going to release gas at a much higher pressure at the muzzle than the full-length barrel, where most of the propellant is already burned by the time the bullet exits the muzzle.

      @@tjh44961 depends on the caliber. A 22 is a poor example. A 28 nosler on the other hand would have more pressure out of a 30 inch barrel then a 26.

      Hence why we say don't fire blanks near people either. The blast will affect you if close. I'd imagine a .50 cal blank could do some damage.
