Abstract
New multifunctional muzzle attachments for firearms providing substantial improvement in shooting accuracy in comparison with prior known muzzle attachments are disclosed that simultaneously provide a combination of four different functions, namely, (1) compensate for gun rise (aka muzzle climb), (2) serve to reduce recoil (aka muzzle braking), (3) reduce flash around the muzzle when the firearm is fired (flash hiding) and (4) an interface for a suppressor. This is made possible by the unique combination of (a) a slotted baffle fixed in the distal end of the new cylindrical attachments and (b) a plurality of longitudinal narrow slots between the distal and proximal ends spaced apart around and through the peripheral cylindrical wall.
