Spark Industries Launches Aerospace-Grade "Over-Barrel" Muzzle System for Modern Sporting Rifles

STAFFORD, Va. - June 13, 2025 - PRLog -- Spark Industries Manufacturing, a veteran-owned company, today announced commercial availability of its first two firearms-accessory products—the Spark-HAVOC™ Over-Barrel Compensator and the Spark-SHOCKWAVE™ hybrid muzzle brake/compensator. Both devices are manufactured entirely in the USA with aerospace-grade direct-metal-laser-sintering (DMLS) in Inconel 718 or 316 Stainless Steel, bringing jet-engine materials and fluid-dynamic engineering to the sporting-rifle market.

"We miniaturized the gas-flow science we use in turbine engines and placed it at the muzzle," said founder Dathan Salgado, an aeronautical engineer who led the ATHENA hybrid-engine program. "Shooters get suppressor-level recoil control without the sideways concussion of legacy brakes."

Together, HAVOC and Shockwave systems tackle the three biggest pain points of close-quarters shooting—side blast, over-gassing, and suppressor heat load—while providing shorter and more weight balanced rifle packaging. Parabolic geometry vectors exhaust forward, trimming ear-level impulse and shielding teammates from concussion. Spark notes that this flow path was impossible until the latest generation of laser-metal additive manufacturing could print the geometry as one seamless part.

Key Features

• Over-barrel gas-vectoring HAVOC adds only ~6 in forward length while providing 12 in of internal volume.
• Parabolic geometry channels exhaust forward, safely projecting concussion forward to hearing safe levels at the shooter's ear.
• Self-timing nut installs in under three minutes—no shims, no gunsmith visit. Even the novice get's it right the first time.
• Modular SHOCKWAVE design threads directly to HAVOC or runs standalone as a lightweight four-stage parabolic brake.
• Full parts interchangeability ideal for LE & Military armories.
• Materials: Inconel 718 for mag-dump heat margin and lifetime warranty; 316 Stainless Steel for durable cost-conscious builds.
