A Brake On A Bullpup?

I was just wondering about the idea of putting a brake or a comp on a bullpup.

Thinking about the T97 I know they are purposely over-gassed.
Is there any advantage of putting a brake or a comp on a bullpup?
:confused:
While the T97 are built to take it, would a brake reduce some of the shock of being over-gassed?
I was thinking of a JComp, which seems more of a brake and flash hider combo than anything else.

As a follow up question, what does removing the T97 (gen 1) flash hider involve?
 
I run an M4-72 on the end of a 16" AR-15 and it rattles my teeth when I am shooting in an enclosed space. I have to wear ear plugs under my Peltor Tactical Sport earmuffs to avoid hearing damage. Not sure I'd want to run one that much closer to my face. A linear comp might not be so bad I suppose.
 
The T97 flash hider is pressed and pinned on. You'd have to find a gunsmith who can remove it and is capable of threading the barrel.

An easier and cheaper solution is changing the spring. I bought a standard weight AK recoil spring from brownells, snipped off 6 coils, dropped it in, and now the recoil is much softer. I'd say it's comparable to a carbine-gas AR.

The T97 Gen1 isn't just overgassed, it's overgassed for a totally different cartridge, the 5.8mm. The Gen2s actually have longer, stiffer recoil springs to start with.

I had a Type97 thread with a muzzle brake on it, nice addition!

I have a fortis brake on my T97. Works good. Doesn't change it too much to be honest. A brake isn't going to change it being internally over gassed.
