Firearm recoil compensating system
The suppression device and system attaches to the muzzle end of the barrel. A vent in the suppression device releases the gases from the barrel in a direction to compensate for drift and recoil. The suppression device adjusts to change the direction and distance from the user at which the device vents the gas. The user adjusts the positioning of the vent on the barrel to control the distances from which the vent is located from the user. The user also adjusts the direction of the vent. The vent directs the gases in a direction chosen by the user from a location designated by the user. Such adjustability enables the user to adapt the suppressor device to the user's specific needs.

MUZZLE BRAKE
A muzzle brake has body having a muzzle end and an exit end with at least one side connecting the ends. A muzzle aperture in the muzzle end is sized and configured to fit a firearm muzzle. A projectile aperture in the exit end extends to the muzzle aperture. A line segment within the space of the muzzle aperture aligns with the centerline of the firearm and defines a projectile line through the body. Apertures pass through the body with their generating lines being perpendicular to the projectile line. The apertures are shaped to allow more gases to escape in one direction and to contain gases in the opposing direction. This causes the gases to exert forces on the muzzle brake which compensates for the tendency of the muzzle to rise when the firearm is fired.
Muzzle device
The present invention is of a muzzle device that is either permanently fixed or releasably attached to the end of the barrel of a firearm. The muzzle device may have a configuration that reduces the loss of pressure and flow rate of the propellant gas by employing a central bore having approximately the same diameter as the bore of the barrel. The muzzle device may further have apertures with inserted adjustable screws with hollow interior portions for tuning the degree of propellant gases in various directions away from the muzzle device. The external diameter of the muzzle device may also have substantially the same diameter as the external diameter of the barrel to allow for access to firearm components without having to remove the muzzle device from the end of the barrel.

Tunable muzzle brake for a firearm
A muzzle brake (i.e., muzzle brake, suppressor, or compensator) directs air through ports in a top of the muzzle brake. Each pair of ports, left and right, has a corresponding baffle to which they are adjacent and form a recess in the rear face of. Each port is between 15 and 30 degrees from top center, and each port angles forward between 15 and 30 degrees. Each port is threaded such that a user may shut the port off with a set screw. Each baffle has a top tooth and a bottom tooth which direct gases from the muzzle of the firearm laterally and into the pair of ports associated with the baffle. The brake may also have lateral vents to disperse the excess gases received from the muzzle.

GAS TUBE SUPPORTS FOR POST BARREL PLENUM OPERATED GAS CYCLING SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC FIREARMS
A gas tube support system for a gas-actuated firearm contains an annular or bored housing for receipt of a gas tube therein, thereby securing the gas tube during operation of the firearm. At least one or more bores are drilled or formed within the annular or bored housing to provide an impingement of the gas tube as it extends through the annular or bored housing. One or more fasteners are threadedly or otherwise received within a corresponding one of one or more respective bores, thereby securing the gas tube within the annular or bored housing. A gas-actuated firearm containing the gas tube support system is also provided.
Muzzle brake device
A muzzle brake device includes a main body having a receiver opening, a discharge opening, a central bore, and a plurality of discharge channels extending outward from the central bore at locations between the receiver opening and the discharge opening. A plurality of raised inlet members are disposed along the central bore and are in communication with the plurality of discharge channels. A separation distance between the channels is complementary to the length of the projectile to which the weapon on which the device is attached, and each of the discharge channels are arranged to emulate the vane of a turbine engine, so as to produce a mechanical force that counteracts the recoil of the weapon to which the device is attached.
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REGULATING FIREARM DISCHARGE GASES AND MOUNTING A COMPONENT TO A FIREARM
A muzzle booster or similar device for regulating firearm discharge gases from an autoloading firearm is disclosed. The muzzle booster may include a shroud and an interior component. The interior component may include a blast baffle that is configured and dimensioned to provide internal and external geometries such that exhaust pressure within the gas system is extended as a function of time to increase the overall minimum pressure impulse from the gas system into the operating mechanism of the host firearm. The blast baffle or interior component may be of M baffle type, K baffle type, or other baffle design, including monocore designs, or baffle designs integrated into monocore designs. The shroud and the interior component may cooperate with the barrel of the host firearm to form a taper lock system for securing the muzzle booster or device to the host firearm barrel.
