This video from Brownells Gun Techs Steve Ostrem and Caleb Savant explains the different functions of firearm muzzle devices. It breaks down the purposes of flash hiders (reducing muzzle flash), compensators (reducing muzzle rise by directing gas upward), and muzzle brakes (reducing felt recoil by redirecting gas outward). The video also touches on sound suppressors acting as muzzle brakes and multi-function muzzle devices. It specifically addresses the suitability of muzzle brakes for AR-15s chambered in .223/5.56mm.
