But as I understand it, the basic principles of a silencer are a set of baffles / ports within the silencer tube which allows the gas to dissipate / expand into, which reduces the sound the gun makes. In a nutshell.

Idle curiousity here - if you were to wrap / encase a muzzle brake in steel / etc - would it then basically serve the same function as a suppressor?

In practice, yes, who would do this, but just idle curiosity on my part. I'm not planning on doing any such thing to my own.

Try threading on a 2 liter full of Mt dew. One time use and you will wet t shirt contest every time
Or, if you want a ghetto suppressor, you can buy the oil filter adapter. See them all the time at the local gun shows.
