Muzzle Brake for AR-15

[Paraguy]

In my quest to add as much on to my AR-15 as possible,I decided to add a Muzzle Brake to my Bushmaster .223 to increase the number of shots I can rattle off in X seconds.  And oh yeah, it does look kinda' cool.  Anyone have experience with these and can provide some tips as to what to expect?  Am I going to feel like it is a completely different rifle or is it just going to perform slightly better and just look different in the process?
And Michael, I am seriously working on a way to hang a coffee maker off the rail using the Keurig coffee technology using barrel heat for the H2O with a cup holder also hanging off the rail with the 12 other gizmos on there, you know, just in case....

Someone please post the now DRTV famous uber accessorized AR, (yes with key chain and compass,...)...

Uh, it will still be a Bushmaster, feel the same, perform the same, and should actually be more stable with all that extra weight.

Don't forget, the Swiss Army knife Picatinny Rail sheath, and the cup holder is a great idea....

Like your idea for a new topic.
My name is Paraguy, and I can't stop hanging stuff off my rifle <applause>

Para Guy, I love the Miculek, muzzle break, low price, and it works. Under 40 bucks retail. Very easy to install...

Well, I gotta throw a plug in there for my own design.  I think it's the best on the market, but I'm a bit biased.  

Here is some video of the Titan Compensator in action.

I'm not going to be bleeding from the eyes and ears from your compensator if I have to SO a stage for you am I? 
Some types are down right unpleasant to be around.

Depends upon where you stand!  

If you get in behind the shooter, then you'll be fine.  Otherwise it can get pretty loud, but that's how you can tell a good compensator design.  They turn recoil into noise!

All great info, thank you!  Should have asked earlier before ordering or would have gone with the experts recommendation.  I will post a report on how the one I bought works out.  It was $49 and was from the bushmaster.com website.
As for noise, they use shotguns where I go so a louder than normal AR-15 shouldn't tick off too many folks.

OK, I'm getting one for my Sig 556. 

Thank you Eric.

I wish they still made one that I have called the DTA mil-brake by Fabian Bros. Don't ask who that is. I don't know. It's a flash hider on the front part and a compensator with an expansion chamber on the rest. It allows mounting a bayonet and makes no visible flash from a 16" barrel.
