[QUOTE="ObiWanKannoli, post: 3088380, member: 116692"] Not 100% true, but we are arguing semantics. "Redirecting sound" can be used in speech to replace "suppresses sound". It's not the words we use to describe what the thing does that identify it as a suppressor, but the function of the device. A suppressor must have an enclosed chamber that allows gasses to expand prior to exiting the muzzle. In OP's case, it's a single open tube with holes in it. In other words, you aren't truly providing the gas a new, fixed volume to expand in. Take a look at the Surefire Warden vs Surefire cans. Same exterior design except one is basically an open tube the directs noise away from the shooter while the other actually provides the gasses somewhere to expand prior to exiting the muzzle. OP is expanding upon the former with a specific brake design internally and a timing nut. At a super high level, no baffles / expansion chamber = not a suppressor. [/QUOTE]
