Custom Piece Miniature – Soviet rounded multi-port muzzle brake from the cannon of a World War II era heavy tank – 3D Print for LEGO minifigure

This is a custom-made accessory for a toy, representing a Soviet rounded multi-port muzzle brake from the cannon of a World War II era heavy tank.

This particular muzzle brake has a highly distinctive rounded or “ball” shape with several circular ports. This design is different from the “pepperbox” style seen on some other Soviet guns and was developed to tame the massive recoil of a very large and powerful cannon.

This muzzle brake is the iconic and instantly recognizable type used on the formidable 122mm D-25T main gun of the Soviet IS-2 (Iosif Stalin 2) heavy tank. It was also fitted to heavy self-propelled guns that used the same cannon, such as the ISU-122. The IS-2 was one of the most powerful tanks of the Second World War, designed specifically to destroy fortifications and engage the heaviest German tanks like the Tiger and Panther. This muzzle brake is a symbol of the immense power of late-war Soviet heavy armor.
