Upon firing the muzzle brake releases high-pressure gas from its side ports that can damage objects or cause injuries, keep everything away from the vicinity of the muzzle brake. ASSUME EVERY GUN IS LOADED Always treat every gun as if it were loaded. Look and feel for an empty chamber. Do not trust the extractor to provide an empty chamber.
