  Muzzle (firearm) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The muzzle of a firearm is the end of the barrel from which the projectile will exit.
Precise machining of the muzzle is crucial to accuracy, because it is the last point of contact between the barrel and the projectile.
The contour of a muzzle is typically designed to keep the rifling safe from damage, so it is commonly recessed or protected by a convex "crown".

 Muzzle Brakes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
A muzzle brake is a sleeve fitted to the end of an artillery barrel to reduce the recoil when the gun fires.
An unfortunate consequence of the use of muzzle brakes is the increase in the amount of sideways blast that the crew is subjected to.

 FM 6-40 Chptr 4 Muzzle Velocity Management
However, muzzle velocities achieved in actual firing may differ from the standard muzzle velocities because of variations in the manufacture of the weapon and ammunition, wear in the weapon tube, projectile weight, propellant temperature, propellant lot efficiency, or a combination of these factors.
Muzzle velocity--the velocity achieved by a projectile as it leaves the muzzle of the weapon (measured in meters per second).
The primary factor contributing to the loss in muzzle velocity for a piece is the number of rounds that have been fired through the tube and the charges used in firing them.

 11 Degree Target Crown
The primary purpose of a firearm muzzle crown is to provide propellant gases a resistance free path away from all parts of the projectile as it exits the bore of the barrel.

The muzzle of the 11 degree crown is sunk at an angle of 11 degrees from square (79 degrees of barrel).

I got the muzzle because i liked the look and the fact it was made form rubber and have not been disappointed.
It is very strong because it is made from rubber and i doubt it would rip, plus the attached cord isn't sewed into the material like a cloth barrel condom instead it is strung through a bunch of loops which i think would made it less likely be to broken or ripped.
The muzzle also has really good grip from the fact it is rubber, when i have to take it off it is a little hard because it grips so well, if i shoot into it it wont even move.

 The Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Announced on or near April 13 -- the anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson -- the Jefferson Muzzles are awarded as a means to draw national attention to abridgments of free speech and press and, at the same time, foster an appreciation for those tenets of the First Amendment.
Further, an examination of previous Jefferson Muzzle recipients reveals that the disregard of First Amendment principles is not the byproduct of a particular political outlook but rather that threats to free expression come from all over the political spectrum.
In awarding this Muzzle, the Thomas Jefferson Center is not insensitive to the difficult task that public school administrators face in preventing disruption of the school day.

 Gunboards - Type 44 Muzzle Cover   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)

 High quality dog muzzle? | Ask MetaFilter
Just as leash laws are created because of jerkoffs who let their pets run around and scare people or dash into traffic, this law isn't to 'punish' your well-behaved pet but to protect the rest of us (and your dog as well) from the irresponsible clowns, not their dogs.
A muzzle is not the end of the world and it both protects the rest of us from your dog and it protects you from the massive lawsuits and possible criminal penalties if your dog did something damaging to someone else.
Most muzzles, and, indeed, the muzzles required by your local law, are humane and do not interfere with the dog's wellbeing.
