It doesn’t. You can see the ports on it, it’s not an internal muzzle brake.

Just good natured nudge / nuzzle. However, it is what the OP wants - a suppressor with internal brake

don't neccessarily disagree with you guys but.... the slowing of the gasses and the release of said gasses explains the sound reducing qualities of a supressor perfectly. That is how they achieve sound reduction. The analogy between smokeless and black powder I don't think is quite correct. Black powder has a slower burn rate which is why it's a push rather than a thump. Like slowly putting your foot on the throttle in the car rather than mashing it to the floor. You will reach the same speed but take slightly longer to get there and exceleration will feel less pronounced.
Being a closed system is why I don't think an internal muzzle brake will have any extra effect as like you mentioned there is no where to vent the gasses to atmosphere to control recoil as in a jet engine type directional venting. But as you said the laws of physics must be followed and those laws state that every action has an equal or opposite reaction, so in my mind it stands to reason that as the blast impacts the internal plates of the supressor the 'parachute' effect must have a fairly large impact on recoil , as those same gasses and 'jet' forces that create the recoil impulse backwards towards the shooter push against the plates creating another , but lessoned recoil impulse in the opposite direction . I would imagine the majority of these blast forces would be absorbed on first strike against the plates , pushing the whole rifle forward to an extent and slowing/canceling a large chunk of the recoil impulse , and any effect from there is gas expansion within the supressor chambers which in itself , being a closed system , would have little effect on recoil.
