Muzzlebrakes

I don't know about muzzlebrakes on shotguns. I've seen ported shotgun bbls and worked on a ported bolt action slug gun this year. That Da*n thing still kicked. To be really honest I don't think a MB would do too much on a shotgun. I've shot(and have )Cutts comp bbled guns and they seem to work ok but they are loud. Rifles are louder than shotguns because of the higher pressures and the projectile doing much better than the speed of sound. Lots of noise factors there for certain. Not as many with a shotgun. Porting does seem to help shotguns somewhat....not so much with recoil attenuation but with muzzle jump...especially between shots on doubles. Can you imagine how a mb would look on a shotgun?? Think a Cutts looks bad??!!
