Phase 5 Weapon Systems
Overview
The Phase 5 FATman 1/2-28 Hex Brake is a muzzle brake designed specifically for 5.56 NATO caliber firearms. It effectively reduces recoil and muzzle rise, allowing for quicker follow-up shots and improved control during rapid fire. This muzzle device is commonly found on carbine-length gas system builds, making it a popular choice for those looking to enhance the performance of their AR-15.
Builders on GunPartPicker first added the Phase 5 FATman 1/2-28 Hex Brake, 5.56mm/.223 Rem - FATman-556 to a build in January 2026.
Availability is good: it was in stock at one retailer or another nearly every day in August 2026, and today 5 of the 6 retailers we track have it in stock. It dipped to $115 at GritR Sports for a stretch in August 2026, under its usual $120, so sales do come around. Buying today, the lowest price is $120 at Optics Planet.
