Abstract (en)

A bored body 14 threadedly attached to the end of a weapon muzzle 12 to reduce climb and swing momental movements during firing. Ports 60 extending laterally of the bore expel propulsion gases during firing. The vector quantities of force of gases expelled through the ports 60 are clocked to oppose such momental movements by rotary adjustment of the body. The bored body optionally can include sounds suppression and can have a threaded boss 44 on which can be installed a flash suppressor which was previously on the end of the weapon muzzle.
