In the firing operation, muzzle jumping phenomenon was investigated, and a method of reducing muzzle jump was suggested. The muzzle jumping force was determined from the torque acting on the rifle due to a recoil force. For the purpose of reducing a muzzle jump, the gas flowing through the M16A1 flash suppressor was considered. A flash suppressor, improved in reducing a muzzle imp, was modeled and tested. The experiment shows that muzzle jump has quantitative relation to shape of a flash suppressor, and can be reduced by the improved modeling of a flash suppressor.
