[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 2233828, member: 96226"] Well, not mine but several good friends use suppressors on their .50BMG rifles which have 4-port brakes on the front and without the brake the rifle is a good bit less pleasant to shoot. Without quite a lot of gas volume (like you'd get from a belted magnum or bigger cartriddge) and a relatively small and/or inefficient suppressor I don't think you'd have enough reactant mass to make a brake on the front of a suppressor much more than cool looking. Any gas that strikes the brake will help reduce recoil but it's a question of how fast it hits the brake and how much gas we're talking about. Suppressors cool gasses and slow them down so the less effective the suppressor at doing one or both of those things the more likely you'll notice the brake on the front. [/QUOTE]
