Not to sound condescending because I do appreciate your feedback, but I am a full time machinist and gunsmith. I know what muzzle brakes are, I know what porting is and I know how hard it is to drill a barrel. Forget I ever said drill the barrel. I was trying to simplify this for people who...

Forget that this has anything to do with a firearm and consider my question as if this was all the knowledge you have to go on: If a Nozzle Tilt of 30 deg. is necessary, which design would produce more thrust A or B. Note the throats of each.

This may illustrate my question better, which design would produce more thrust A or B. Note the throats of each. At a 30 deg. slant the throat can either be straight inline with the nozzle As in the A example or an actual throat like in the B example.

This is a Muzzle Brake for a rifle barrel that uses rocket nozzle type porting that reduces felt recoil. The "Nozzles" are machined at a 30 deg slant towards the rear. The explosive pressure behind the bullet gets vented into the nozzles as the bullet passes them. The nozzle venting seriously...
