Attached to the barrel of the SRS99D Sniper Rifle System.
Muzzle brakes and recoil compensators are devices that are fitted to the muzzle of a firearm or cannon to redirect propellant gases with the effect of countering both recoil of the gun and unwanted rising of the barrel during rapid fire. Muzzle brakes are very useful for combat and timed competition shooting, and are commonly found on rifles firing very large cartridges (often big-game rifles), as well as some artillery and tank guns. They are also commonly used on pistols for practical pistol competitions, and are usually called compensator in this context.
Muzzle brakes are seen attached to the end of the SRS99D and SRS99C Sniper rifle and the M6C/SOCOM.
Trivia
- The usage of the muzzle break on the Sniper Rifle System may be influenced by the Barrett M82/M107.
