There is one thread with mostly handgun stuff:

But we have started a bit bigger project with rifles and I thought to start new thread for it. Idea is to visualize how different compensators direct gas and how they work. So here it goes.
PART I
First we need a plain barrel base line and in this case it is done by .223Rem rifle. It happens to be AR but in generally type of the gun doesn't matter.
These pictures are from separate shots and are timed within 500 us time frame. Nice round blast pushing the gun backwards
Additional material such as stereoscopic 3D can be found here under rifles:

As you may guess next we put something there to disrupt that ball of gas. Stay tuned
