Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key gas mitigation features of Breek Arms charging handles?

Breek Arms charging handles like the Sledgehammer and Omnibuster feature a baffling system to slow gas expansion, a raised rear shelf to block blowback, and C-cuts for even gas distribution to the latches, significantly reducing gas exposure, especially when shooting suppressed.

What is the main difference between the Breek Arms Sledgehammer and Omnibuster?

While both offer gas mitigation, the Omnibuster is specifically designed for true ambidextrous use, ensuring balanced gas distribution to both sides. This makes it particularly beneficial for left-handed shooters who might otherwise experience gas blowback into their face from the right-side ejection port.

What materials are Breek Arms charging handles made from?

Breek Arms charging handles are constructed from durable 7075 T6 aluminum. They are finished with a Type III hard coat anodization, which is a robust and industry-standard finish for aluminum firearm components, providing excellent wear resistance.

Are Breek Arms charging handles available for AR-10 platforms?

Yes, Breek Arms offers their Warhammer and Sledgehammer charging handles for large-frame AR platforms, including the AR-10. An AR-10 version of the Omnibuster is planned for future release.
