Suppressors - Am I missing something
Whilst I have suppressors for most of my rifles am might be missing something
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??

Muhchausen's Pigtail Suppressor with Integral Muzzle Brake.
Thinking... why not have a rearward deflecting muzzle brake and have it enclosed in a can? Sell it as an integral muzzle brake suppressor.
The gases, as escaping from the barrel would initially be directed backwards in the can.... No, really! Sounds like Baron von Munchausen pulling himself up out of the swamp.

Depends if you are accelerating or braking, the opposite actually happens to what you think.
Try it with a helium balloon in the car.
If you accelerate you would think that the balloon would go backwards, but it doesn't, it comes forwards.
Reason is that when you accelerate the air in the car is pushed to the rear and therefore is more dense at the back of the car than the front, so the balloon moves towards the less dense air.
The opposite happens when you brake, the balloon moves to the rear as the air collects in the front.
At constant velocity the ball would fall as if you were still as you are all moving as one unit, including the air in the car.
