Muzzle Porn: Walker Defense Nero

[PVBoom]

Not yet out in 7.62, but that is "in progress" http://walkerdr.com/nero762

We set off to create the ideal compensating muzzle brake by starting from a blank canvas. Our goal was to completely transform the recoil impulse of the AR-15 into a simple, soft rearward push with zero muzzle climb.

To do this, we had to reject all design constraints and engineer the NERO 556 from the ground up using computational fluid dynamics and direct metal laser sintering (DMLS – also referred to as “3D printed metal”). Leveraging these cutting-edge technologies also allowed us to manufacture a device using Inconel, a nickel-chromium superalloy more at home in rockets and jet engines (learn more about Inconel here), all to produce a muzzle brake that had no peer. Whether combat or competition, the NERO 556 is designed to give you the absolute ideal level of controllability and speed.

I didn't link the best review. Its got pics that explain the design, which explains its shape.

They are forcing the gas down to rebound off the bottom of the brake, to eliminate muzzle rise.

Hmm.

Purely functional designs can be attractive as well, or they can end up like this muzzle device and the infamous DuoStock:

:p

The horse hoof.
I've sure seen much worse things on rifles, and it does seem to work. Very interesting

I agree completely! That would only be porn if you thought Pelosi or Hiliary were porn stars.
