Acheron HexaLug Muzzle Brake 5.56mm - M14 x 1

Effective muzzle brake with integrated HexaLug interface.

Compatible with all silencers with HexaLug interface. The backwards compatibility of HexaLug also allows the installation of a silencer with a larger caliber. For example, an ACS E1 in 7.62 mm caliber can be mounted on a muzzle brake in 5.56 mm caliber.

If a weapon is used primarily or exclusively with a silencer, a muzzle brake should be preferred over a flash hider. The three chambers of the muzzle brake divert hot powder gases to the side, resulting in a longer silencer lifespan. If the weapon is used without a silencer, the increased noise generated by the side gas outlet must be taken into account. Especially for people standing next to the shooter, the noise level is significantly higher than when using a flash hider.
