Dead Air E-Brake .30 Cal Sandman Enhanced Brake | DA442

The Dead Air E-Brake (DA442) is an enhanced muzzle brake designed to mount to Sandman-series suppressors and reduce felt recoil while producing a more diffused release of high-pressure gases. It installs on the R-Series front cap thread pitch used by several Dead Air suppressors and ships with a DA208 front cap tool for removal and installation. The E-Brake’s venting pattern reduces dust kick-up when shooting from prone positions and softens the gas release for bystanders.

Applications include precision prone shooting where reduced dust and muzzle movement matter, and recreational or competition shooting where improved recoil management is beneficial.

The E-Brake provides a straightforward way to reduce muzzle rise and soften the expulsion of gases at the front of compatible suppressors. Its design emphasizes diffused venting, and the inclusion of the DA208 front cap tool simplifies installation so you can return the suppressor to service quickly.
