Shockwave

Marines of P Battery 5/14 fire a high explosive projectile downrange from a M777A2 howitzer weapon system during a live-fire training exercise at the Yakima Training Center, Washington, Oct 14, 2017. The muzzle brake located at the end of a M777A2 howitzer barrel, takes the energy of the extra propellant gases when fired and redirects it backwards into the ground, slowing the recoil and preventing the weapon from bouncing.
