Muzzle Brakes: Sound Test

I am not biased against muzzle brakes. But, in all reality so it happens that I dont own one.
We have seen many arguments pro and con for them on the forum, so no point of repeating this.

However, I would like to add one more aspect.
On some automatic ranges, where software calculates the score, and displayes target hits on screen:
It can be programmed to count by sound a number of shots, in a string. And then each hit is recorded on electornic screen
For example, the string of match is 20 shots, and if there is not a hit, but if there is a recorded shot, the software will calculate as miss.
So, it happend (I saw) that when a guy in next line is using muzzle brake, creates noise, the sofwtare in next line can account the shot from other lines, as actual "shot" and will calculate a miss - because there will not be a hit.
So, they create confusion sometimes, even on the rangE, when all people weare ear protection.

About the rest:: reducing the recoil, incrasing the noise, unliked by guides in the field, some are better then the others, etc - we know all about it. So, no need to repeat.

If I would have a rifle, with recoil unbearable by me, I would install a muzzle brake, without second thought,
