The Maxim Defense Hate Brake is a 30 caliber muzzle booster engineered to address cycling reliability issues in short barrel PDWs chambered in low-pressure cartridges. By regulating firearm exhaust gases, this accessory ensures dependable operation while redirecting gases to decrease flash signature, significantly reduce recoil, and improve accuracy.
Installation occurs from the front using a 3/8 drive socket, allowing setup under a handguard without removal. The Hate Brake locks into place using K-Taper, a patent-pending taper locking technology that eliminates the need for proprietary tapered barrels. Its external shape is designed to work with M-Slot compatible hand guards and fits under most handguards with an inner diameter of 1.65 or larger.
This 5/8 inch-24 muzzle brake adds equal length to a standard A2 birdcage flash hider and features an easily timed body. Veteran designed and tested, the Hate Brake increases PDW reliability by directing sound away from the shooter while decreasing flash signature.
