Edit: To be more Accurate I should say:
The "mass" of the gas/unburnt powder/carbon is significant if we consider:
FORCE = MASS x ACCELERATION.
However, as almost all the gas/unburnt powder/carbon is still exiting the muzzle (with only a small portion remaining as deposits in suppressor/bore) it can be seen that the suppressor doesn't reduce the "MASS" part of the equation, it just slows the "ACCELERATION".
