Reading the Rod and Rifle Suppressor Testing article at least1l "manufacturer" made mention of the fact their unit included an effective integral muzzle brake.

How would this work given its inside the suppressor and although it is possibly directing gas but to where? surely it would ll be caught by the suppressor which would prevent it behaving in the usual way a brake would. Would it just be the xtra weight of the brake causing the recoil reduction??

Over two years ago I made this video.

I put a T1 Terminator muzzle brake inside a modified suppressor to see what it would do.



I also put a T1 brake inside a sleeve to see what closing off a my brake would achieve.



After seeing the etching inside the 316 SS cover I made after only two shots I decided my brake design was too efficient to be closed off

I would need an extremely strong cover to stand up to abuse being handed to it by the escaping muzzle gases which would make it way to bulky for my liking.
