KAC Muzzle Break

Knight’s Armament was founded as an R&D firm and has since kept up the tradition of pragmatic solutions and ingenious design work in all of our products. Our various muzzle brakes serve as one example of this tradition. From our QDC series of flash suppressors, to our markedly popular Triple Tap compensator, and to the neutral bias MAMS brake, the interoperability, superiority, and practicality of these brakes are clearly seen.


Knight’s QDC series of flash suppressors feature multi-length and multi-angle openings which help assist in effectively reducing flash signature by providing multiple avenues of escape for the gasses which accompany a round. They are also equipped with the indentions necessary for use with KAC’s latest line of QDC Sound Suppressors.

The Triple Tap enhanced compensator is another suppressor-compatible muzzle brake that is actually designed as a sacrificial baffle to extend the life of a suppressor. As gasses travel through the weapon’s barrel and reach the Triple Tap, the forward baffle prevents forward motion of the gasses. This not only reduces felt recoil of the weapon but also forces the gases to exit through the many ports of the Triple Tap. Most flash suppressors offer escape ports in a general 180 degree area. The Triple Tap provides 270 degrees of available avenues for those gases to escape through. This helps fight against rise and drift, creating a more controllable weapon, especially under high cyclic firing rates.

The MAMS (Multi-Axis Muzzle Stability) Brake is a result of recoil management studies which were conducted in cooperation with the US Government. They reduce felt recoil by up to 60% and provide a truly neutral bias brake. The design of the MAMS incorporates features that diffuse the high pressure muzzle gases which make them incredibly forgiving when firing in CQB conditions. Also incorporated in the design of the MAMS are the QDC indentions, making it compatible with Knight’s QDC sound suppressor line. This powerful tool is an all in one muzzle brake that increases controllability, reduces flash signature and felt recoil, while providing a neutral bias and sound suppression capabilities.
