Silencer. Suppressor. Muffler. No matter what you call it, it all acts the same and isn’t quiet, despite what Hollywood might have you think. Well, except for maybe a suppressed bolt-action 22.

I guess from what I understand a muzzle brake is for felt recoil and the suppressor reduce noise I think that how it works

Muzzle brake will vent gases to assist on felt recoil and muzzle climb.
To the detriment of shooters next to you.

I thought about a muzzle brake but I really like how short the barrel on my pc carbine I don’t know if I want to add length to it and where I shoot the partition between the two shooters is a good size wall and as far as recoil goes not much on that rifle it’s just fun to shoot
