This invention is directed to a muzzle brake that can be attachably connected to a weapon system having a barrel comprising: a housing; a front opening defined in the housing having a diameter generally the same size as the caliber of the barrel to which the housing can be attached; an impact plane included in the housing having an angle of incident greater than 90 degrees defined between the impact plane and the longitudinal axis of the housing; an eddy plane included in the housing having an angle of incident defined between the eddy plane and the longitudinal axis of the housing that is greater than the incident of angle of the impact plane; and, a concave surface included in the housing and carried by the eddy plane; a forward port defined by the impact plane, eddy plane and concave surface in the housing so that a portion of the gas expelled from the barrel is deflected outward from the housing upon contacting the impact plane and a portion of the gas expelled from the barrel is deflected by the concave surface producing eddies in the deflected gas stream.
