摘　　要：This research work deals with the design of a tunable muzzle brake [10] for a rifle chambered in 5.56 x 45 NATO ammunition. It proposes to solve the problem of handling differences from shooter to shooter by incorporating the feature of tunability. Beside this, it also solves the problem of requirement of optimum recoil in short recoil weapons. This innovation gives this design an edge over its already existing counterparts in the market. The product is designed using the internal ballistics calculations and the investigations been performed using solidworks flow simulation tool and ANSYS static structural to check the parameters like velocity distribution, pressure growth, and muzzle brake force along the series of ports and comparison of the so found results with those devised by the authors of the documents mentioned in references. This assures the market adaptability of the product for satisfactory performance, when brought among its already existing counterpart, though with a slight edge over them due to tunability. The results so found shall be concluded satisfactory regarding the performance of muzzle brake.This research work deals with the design of a tunable muzzle brake [10] for a rifle chambered in 5.56 x 45 NATO ammunition.
