Default Muzzle break on a 15-22. REALLY?

Edit title: Muzzle brakes

Okay, I got a new Battlecomp 2.0 Muzzle brake for my AR so the Surefire MB556K move over to the MP15-22.

Honestly, I only put it on there for looks thinking there wouldn't be any performance enhancements. For those who don't know, muzzle brakes are design to reduce muzzle climb and recoil. But on a .22LR I didn't think it would do anything since there is very little recoil and muzzle rise. Plus the brakes are designed for the .223/5.56mm

Well, I thought wrong. Here are pics of what I did yesterday. I used both on the 1 Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22. one with the original bird cage and the other with the Surefire MB556K. I did 5 rapid fire pulls, 25 rounds @ 50 feet.

Most brakes are about $150. The KAC triple Tap is about $400, but that's another story.







up to you guys. This was just shock discovery to me, and if you are that type of shooter worth the purchase.
