What the Muzzle Brake gives back in each recycler
| Recycler | Efficiency | You get |
|---|---|---|
| Red recycler | 75% | 6 High Quality Metal |
| Green recycler (powered) | 60% | 4 + 80% High Quality Metal |
| Green recycler | 50% | 4 High Quality Metal |

The Muzzle Brake breaks down into High Quality Metal.
A recycler takes one at a time.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “4 + 80%” means 4 every time and a 80% chance of one more.
In Rust, Muzzle Brake is a weapon attachment in the Weapons category (item ID #1478091698, console shortname weapon.mod.muzzlebrake). Weapon modding mounts this muzzle attachment across 21 compatible ranged weapons. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 40 minutes.
Lowers recoil felt by the operator but can make bullet path more unpredictable and dealing slightly less damage to your foes.
Crafting Muzzle Brake in Rust takes 25 seconds at a Workbench Level 2 once the 60 scrap blueprint node is unlocked, with all ballistics, crafting, and durability values read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Damaged copies repair at a Repair Bench for a fraction of recipe cost.
When choosing between Muzzle Brake and related weapons in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (60 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 750-scrap tech tree path and save 690 scrap, or unlock the tech tree branch when your group also needs the prerequisite blueprints.
| Item | Category | Stack Limit | Craft / Source | Tech Tree / Research | Green Recycler Yield |

| Weapon Lasersight | Weapons | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 3 | 60 node / 180 path | Not recyclable |
| Weapon flashlight | Weapons | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 1 | 30 node / 435 path | Not recyclable |
| Extended Magazine | Weapons | 1 per slot | Workbench Level 2 | 60 node / 990 path | Not recyclable |

The Muzzle Brake drops from 9 container and NPC loot tables in Rust, led by Locked Crate (1.3% chance), Elite Crate (0.78% chance), and Scientist PT Boat Dry Box (0.73% chance). Each listed probability reflects a single container opened or NPC killed, and found copies can be repaired or researched at base.

The Muzzle Brake has 32-bit signed item ID 1478091698 and shortname weapon.mod.muzzlebrake in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Weapons category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Muzzle Brake in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give weapon.mod.muzzlebrake 1 or inventory.giveid 1478091698 1 for a single unit. Both console spawn commands require administrator or moderator privileges on the server, while regular players can bind a quick-craft shortcut key instead.
