Crea-Comp "Recoil Eliminator" TM

My Crea-Comp "Recoil Eliminator" is a fresh new concept in recoil compensation. Its atypical twin V configuration is unlike any other muzzle brake available. Its design virtually eliminates recoil, allowing the shooter to stay on target better than any other compensator on the market.

 

I came up with this idea while watching the NHRA Drag races at the New England Dragway in Epping, NH. Taking notice of the pipes on a dragster, I was curious as to why the pipes are shaped as they are, first pointing downwards at an angle, then pointing upwards at an opposite angle. Using a search engine, I discovered that this design is intentional and causes what is termed as a "scavenger effect". This effect helps evacuate the exhaust more quickly by utilizing pressure waves. These pressure waves bounce the exhaust back up the pipe, causing a vacuum that pulls new fuel into the engine at a higher rate. This improves performance and efficiency in the engine. This had me inquisitive as to how such a design would affect a firearms recoil if so applied.

​

Incorporating this concept into a compensator design, I found that it reduces recoil much more effectively than a standard compensator or muzzle brake. In fact, it works so well, it virtually eliminates recoil as we know it. The gas exits the barrel through angled ports at the bottom. These ports connect to a second set of ports that angle upwards. I added a radius at the bottom of the secondary ports to add a secondary pushing effect at the bottom and added leverage for the exiting gasses. This action simulates the "scavenger effect" and more, in such a way that recoil is neutralized, using Newton's law "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". However, in achieving my objective of reducing the recoil, the reaction needed to be more aggressive than the action. After experimenting with hole sizes and configurations I found the sweet spot. This meant that the secondary ports needed to be slightly larger than the primary ports. Adding a tapered venturi to the secondary ports was incorporated as well for a stronger upward exit.

​

Unlike standard compensators that are mounted to the slide, I chose to attach the Crea-Comp to the muzzle of the barrel. This was mostly due to my need to encompass the gasses for optimum restraint. I also incorporated the front site to my Crea-Comp design for accuracy purposes. In this manner, the front site stays zero over the barrel and eliminates slop that is inherent of standard slide mounted compensators. I then added a rod in the cowling of the Crea-Comp that inserts into the recoil spring plug to keep everything in line, concise and repetitive.
