Can someone tell me what that pointed thing is, what is does? I know it looks cool but there most be a purpose for it.
How do you remove the bead to install one of this things?

Ever see an AK with the slant-type muzzle device?
This is the same idea. Remove a sight bead? If it doesn't unscrew there's always a Dremel tool. |

Thanks for answering, I knew at least one person would know what this is. The sight bead.- I tried pulling it out, prying it from the inside of the barrel and nothing, I am thinking about using the dremel tool to just grind it down, but is it worth getting rid off the bead so I can slide this brake on?. I will wait a couple of days before I do that. |

Did you try unscrewing the bead?

Interesting, look at the two set screws that appear to allow it to be adjusted for both angle and length. Is it just a brake, or is it supposed to be a stand off device for breaching rounds as well?

I saw it at an auction, he was selling it as a "brake/doorbreech" I understand the brake part what does a breech do?

Sets the proper distance for firing a breaching round. A breaching round is used to open locked doors. Usually a compressd powdered metal that quickly disintegrates after delivering it's energy to the lock in question.

Hmmm, as you no doubt gather from my previous post, IANAB (I am not a Breacher), but that doesn't look like the best design for that sorta thing. That angle could easily end up flat against the door if you were aiming at a downward angle, say at a knob or lower hinge. Is there a Breacher in the house, who could give us the benefit of their wisdom on this thing?

You don't do it with your eyes closed.
I don't think it's for breaching personally, but then again, I don't know. I could see how it would provide a standoff, and a space for the blast, but I think what is actually used is more along the lines of a birdcage, or a duck bill. |

I haven't suggested the process was done with eyes closed. I was under the impression that a standoff device was necessary because breaching is expected to be conducted in a great hurry, in a chaotic enviroment and that blowing up the barrel of your shotgun by getting it up against the door would be a bad thing under those circumstances. If keeping the muzzle a safe distance from the door by visual estimate works, then why do we have standoff devices at all?

I did a quick search, and found a lot about the SWAT 3 video game. But also stumbled on this:
SWAT Article So what we are looking at in the picture is probably just a comp. |

Its a crude bayonet. Jab a guy in the gut with that thing, you'll see what I mean. Like a large hypodermic needle.
