How does adding a compensator at the end of the gun reduce recoil?
In: 2
– Depending on the mechanical system of the gun the recoil pushes the gun back and/or the gun barrel upwards.
– The exploding gases propelling the bullet forward exit the barrel at the front (producing the sonic boom and the muzzle flash).
– Compensator systems use muzzle brakes to direct a part of these gases into the counter direction. The gun pushes back, the recoil compensators pushes forward, with that reducing the end recoil.
