I wanted to find which of these muzzle devices I would like the best for keeping on target during fast semi-auto shooting.

I tested 5 devices and recorded it all and took pictures.

The targets where at 25 yards, furthest the local indoor range goes.


I tested the following; (my top 3 are numbered)

Bare muzzle
1. Bulgarian chrome lined brake from milled AK.
Hungarian AMD 65 brake
3. Tapco Slot
2. Tapco Razr
Tapco AK74 style

I shot this with my WASR GP10/63 Warsaw length wood stock and wood hand guards. Standing up.
using a KVar optic mount with a Bushnell TRS-25
Wolf 123gr FMJ, new production, non-corrosive
2 point sling, mounted at front loop and stock, I utilize the sling to get the rifle real snug in my shoulder pocket when shooting, bladed forward with a modern c clamp support hand grip.


What is your opinion after watching the videos?

I will say with a proper hold and good stance, the AK is pretty easy to shoot fast and accurate with, practice those fundamentals kids.

Bare muzzle: (massive flash and all the recoil and muzzle rise)

Bulgarian Brake: ( good brake, ok comp, decent flash hider







Tapco Slot: (good comp, but sharp recoil impulse with this one I didn't like, may have been blast)



Tapco Razr: (ok flash hider/ ok muzzle brake / ok comp







Tapco AK74 style: ( ok brake/ ok comp)



Hungarian AMD 65 brake: (ok brake/flash and noise/muzzle blast enhancer)




I am going to test out the Razr, Slot and Bulgarian some more and at night when I can, as I like how they affected the muzzle.

Thanks

Awesome test bud! Thanks!

thanks for the research!! Looks like that tapco slotted thing tamed the best. My preference is no flash hider or brake, thread protector only. The shorter gun has proved way more utilitarian for my needs and I am a night hunter.

Now I wanna go get an AK. Ya can't have enough options!
