Overview
The Hypertap is Precision Armament's highest-reduction brake: a reverse-venting hybrid baffle design with convergent-divergent ports that the maker rates at up to 84% recoil reduction, nearly 10% more than its M4-72, while keeping 35-degree baffle angles and generous bore clearance. An integral timing nut replaces shims and crush washers, so the brake times and tightens with an adjustable wrench or the included spanner tools, and the pilot holes can be drilled out to tune gas bias against muzzle rise.
This row is the 5.56mm/.223 bore on the standard 1/2x28 AR-15 thread, offered in the Slim Body only: 2.54 inches long, 0.90 inch in diameter, and 2.7 to 3.0 ounces.
Reverse venting is how it reaches that number, and it sends blast and concussion back toward the shooter. Precision Armament recommends a barrel of at least 14.5 inches and publishes a muzzle brake safety memo for anyone running it shorter. It is heat-treated stainless with an Ionbond CrCN finish or bare stainless, made in the USA.
