First thing: he VG6 Gamma's ability to compensate for muzzle rise in 300blk/7.62 brake vs the gen 1 as awful. And the new brake lacks the reward angle cuts to send gas backwards, and has less portage overall, causing greater felt recoil woth the cheaper-to-make Gen2 Gamma (and the Epsilon is the same).
They removed over 2/3 of the top slits that compensated for muzzle rise on short barreled 300 blk and.7.62x39 chambered AR-15s. I own both generations, and there is simply no comparison.
The also stopped adding the angled cut in the back of the first ports, the forced gas to escape backwards, effectively pushing the gun forward, and this greatly reducing felt recoil. They no longer have those.cuts either in the GEN2 Gamma or Epsilons.
I also see that did the same the Epsilon as well. I when I put d Gamma brake in my 12" AR in 7.62x39mm it shoots with nearly zero muzEpsilon.
Also the felt recoil is worse, both due to.it lacking the reward angled cuts in the first ports, allowing gas to escape backwards (pushing the gum foward), and woth 1/3 of the top ports of the first gen, it both not helping muzzle rise as much and is reducing recoil less due to their being less places for the gas to vent out besides forward.
The new models are clearly much cheaper to manufacture with MANY less cuts need. And the angled reward cuts added a lot of time, because there not just something that be cut perpendicular and required another axis on a CNC to accomplish.
Yet they still cost as much or more than the Gen 1s.
I will be adding pictures, but what do you all think of the situation?
Here are the images I said I would add:
GEN1 Design:
Here is Gen1 Gamma with more ports on the top (more recoil reduction, and much muzzle rise compensation), and in the first ports you'll reward angled venting on the first ports; thks is allow gas to escape in a backwards angled direction to to push the gun foward.
GEN2 Design:
Very fewtop ports, this design does nearly nothing for muzzle rise. And it no angled reward angled cut to send backwards to sides of the shooter to reduce recoil by pushing the gun forward to counteract recoil
