Abstract
Abstract A muzzle-brake with a flash hider for automatic weapons and guns, which comprises an integral device which includes a first section forming a flash hider. The latter comprises a conical sleeve which is widening forwardly. A second section forms a muzzle-brake and follows the first section. The muzzle-brake has a rearwardly increasing outer diameter and a cylindrical bore. The wall of the second section has a plurality of rows of radial bores distributed over the periphery, and the wall of the first section has axial bores which are widening in axial and radial direction.
