After all, the very nature of these brakes suggest that gas is punched laterally, as anyone who has ever sat next to one of these nefarious creations at the range can attest. To me, this second set of brakes seems more apt to damage a suppressor than to actually help it. This line of thought seems to be opposed to something like a Surefire or AAC brake where there are simply two massive ports to deflect the blast to the sides. Other companies have followed suit, both Q and Griffin offer muzzle devices that seem like they would work as a first baffle in the same way that the KAC devices might. However, the MAMS is different than most brakes-as is the KAC Triple Tap-in that it contains a number of much smaller ports for gas to release. I'm pretty sure that the first time I read the claim that a muzzle brake was better for the long term use of a can was from Kevin Boland, then of KAC, who was speaking about their Multi Axis Muzzle Stability (MAMS). I have also read state that Dead Air feels that there is no difference whatsoever in using a flash hider or muzzle brake on one of their cans. For years I have heard that muzzle brakes can act as a sacrificial blast baffle/first baffle by lessening the impact of gas and reducing the potential damage done to the can.
