    Video: Heathen Brake vs. Other manufacturer - Blast directed back at shooter

    We did a quick video to illustrate the difference in muzzle blast directed toward the shooter using another leading manufacturer's brake and our Heathen Muzzle Brake using paper cards. The paper cards were simply placed on the ground to allow the viewer to see where the muzzle blast is directed:

    Very cool comparison, I never notice any blowback from mine and love it.

    Any chance you guys would do a bit larger diameter 1/2x28 brake for .223? I have one for my .308 and would like to put one on my smaller .223 but the one you make is too small for the dia of the barrel and would look funny, the .885 would be perfect.

    Not that a .223 really needs a brake, but with one on I bet the muzzle would not move off target at all when fired.

    Luv the Heathen on my SRS 260Rem. Didn't notice it but yeah, my stuff on the bench isn't flying everything like with other brakes.
    Revolvers RULE; remember that next time you BEND over to pick up brass OR ejected brass pings off the precision gear.
    Looking for a car pool buddy for weekly weekday trips from Burnaby to POCO. Better yet I'll drive weekly and you take me hunting.

    Great looking brake and nice comparison, but for the $, yikes! Ill deal with a little muzzle blast. Hard to justify spending that much when products half the price work just fine. IMO

    What round are they firing in the video? 308? 6.5mm? 6mm?

    Thanks

    I'll spend a few extra dollars for no muzzle blast and a brake that's easy to index. The Heathen is worth it.
