- Abstract
This paper presents an experimental study of the influence of muzzle devices over bending vibrations of an automatic rifle barrel. Starting from what is theoretically known, that muzzle devices exert a reaction force over the barrel in the post ejection period, we have used a very performant high speed camera to record and analyse how do a 5.56 mm automatic rifle barrel vibrates in the muzzle section, first without any muzzle device than with three different muzzle devices mounted on the barrel. The compared results show that the influence of muzzle devices can be very important.
