I just don't get how a muzzle brake reduces a rifles recoil.

You drill holes in the tip of the barrel and recoil is reduced. Does this mean that recoil continues to be reduced as you increase the number of holes ? This does not make sense as you could drill holes untill the tip of the barrel is all holes and the recoil would be the same as before you started drilling holes holes. I have to be missing something. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
