Ok, I know quiet and muzzle brake are not often used together in the same sentence or paragraph. However; I had an idea and if it occurred to me, then it must have been thought of by someone else already.
The ATF says that any device used to reduce sound is a suppressor and needs a stamp. But where do we hold the ruler?
If we hold the ruler just aft of the muzzle and measure db's then it would seem to follow that any device added on after that the registers about the same is not a suppressor?
Would a properly designed muzzle brake that reduces recoil and keeps sound at to the "normal" level run afoul of any Federal Witchery?
