starman 1 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Why do most Brakes have points on the end? Is this just for looks or does it improve performance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bayoupiper 738 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 For looks. Law enforcement uses pointed, or toothed brakes for door breaching. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
COS 0 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Stupid question since this got brough up!! The points on the brakes... Do they jam in the door before they fire them?? I mean what exactly are the points for?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bayoupiper 738 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 The teeth help set the weapon so it doesn't jump or slide when you drop the hammer because you don't want to miss or have the recoil cause a ricochet. You also have to have large enough venting slots so the discharge is not so confined that it ruptures the barrel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
