Im amazed at the detailed level of testing,
but hardly surprised that the longer multi port brakes,
significantly out performed the shorter length brakes with fewer ports
brakes with less than 3-4 horizontal ports per side,

have generally not worked well in my experience
there is a great many brakes , for sale
that I feel are made more too make the manufacturer,

or vendor money than to function effectively

these tests videos are far less technical, but still interesting
these videos just are not nearly as technically precise, yet you'll still learn a few things
I think many of the muzzle brakes are designed more as something a vendor can sell,
and make money selling, thus something easily manufactured,
and ideally cheap and easy to make in volume,

rather than something FUNCTIONAL that works well,
Id suspect many brakes are looked at by the vendors more as a potentially ,
(no mater what their advertisement's state)

as a potentially profitable product than as a truly functional added accessory.
I look at many designs and just think..
WHAT WAS THE IDIOT WHO DESIGNED THAT THINKING??
at least in my experience, theres a great deal of marginal or rather in-effective products for sale
and some of the more expensive brakes are not nearly worth the price

Since I'm new here, I still go through all those interesting links, and links of links, and never made it to scroll down beyond "The Engine Shop / Non-Year Specific" :D way to many topics that spark my interest.
