Slow-Motion Video Shows Bullets Pass Through Muzzle Brakes
If you want to see how a muzzle brake really works, definitely watch this remarkable slow-motion video compiled by Proof Research.
This amazing video features a variety of firearms: suppressed 9mm pistol, .338 Norma rifle, .300 WinMag rifle, 12ga comp’d shotgun, plus an AR15 and AR10.
This Must-Watch Video Has Some Amazing Ultra-Slow-Motion Segments
Watch the ultra-slow motion segment at the 2:55 mark and you can actually see a .30-cal bullet spin its way through the muzzle brake, leaving trail of flame that blows out the ports. Interestingly, at the 3:10 mark, you can also see a bright “afterburn” ball of fire that forms a few inches ahead of the muzzle milliseconds after the bullet has left the barrel. Perhaps this is late ignition of unburned powder?

That was really terrific!
Terrific slow motion, I’m interested in
how far the 338 barrel moves before the
bullet exit, tracking. And after the
gas has done flowing out of the barrel,
the negative pressure pulls gas and
carbon back into the barrel. It shows
why carbon builds up just inside the
muzzle. Thanks for video. David2
The flash at 3:10 is intermediate flash, not secondary flash (unburnt propellant ignition). The effect is caused by the propellant gases moving through the Mach disc of the bottle shock where they are recompressed. As they are recompressed, they glow brightly. There’s very little secondary flash, suggesting that the propellant has a flash suppressant added.
