muzzle blast
Firearm's explosive discharge
Muzzle blast is the explosive release of gases and pressure from a firearm's barrel when discharged.
The blast creates the characteristic loud report, visible flash, and concussive force felt near the shooter.
The muzzle blast from the rifle kicked up dust from the ground.
Suppressors reduce muzzle blast by giving gases space to expand before exiting.
