It is for this reason why some rifle manufacturers are building what is known as “featureless AR15” rifles from the factory, in an attempt to limit the amount of people these nasty little AR-15s assault. The lawmakers in California have noted after much scientific debate that the addition of these items to your AR-15 pattern rifle causes it to lose its freaking mind and start killing stuff. You can’t have a pistol grip, a forward vertical grip, a grenade launcher (the nerve!), or a thumbhole stock. Here is a 3-pronged flash suppressor on my buddy’s old Valmet M76.Ī flash hider is designed in a way that helps to disperse the direction of the flash so it’s harder for the enemy to see where your muzzle is, as well as not blind the operator as much.ĭon’t worry, though, the stupidity doesn’t just stop there. And, as you can imagine, firefights don’t stop just because it’s night. To further complicate things, it can make for a hell of a difficult time to fire at night, temporarily limiting a Marine’s night vision. Whenever that happens, it can create a ball of flame bursting from the muzzle that everyone, including your enemy, can see. Sometimes, powder is still burning as the bullet leaves the barrel.Īnd, usually, the shorter the barrel, the more powder you’ll have leftover to burn. What happens is, that while modern day firearms and ammunition are designed to burn as much of the gunpowder as possible, as quickly as possible, it doesn’t always happen that way. This muzzle device is exactly what it sounds like: Something designed to hide the flash of your rifle. (as a side note, this muzzle device is also part compensator, but we’ll get to what that is in a moment) In fact, some folks even call it a “birdcage” and if you ever hear that term, they’re referring to the flash hider attached to the threaded barrel of their AR-15. If you don’t put one of these devices on, you need to cover the threads with one of these or you’ll damage them.~ ~ Warning: Any of these devices need a threaded barrel. There are parts that can be a combination of the different muzzle devices, as we’ll begin to see below. All of these are parts that mount to the end of the barrel. A flash hider is a device that disperses the flash from unburnt gun powder to prevent an enemy from pinpointing the rifle’s location. A compensator is designed to keep the muzzle from rising off target after the shot is fired. We’ve all been there, and this article is meant to answer one specific question: What is the difference between a muzzle brake, a compensator, and a flash hider?Ī muzzle brake is designed to reduce the amount of recoil you feel when you fire and is better for bigger caliber guns. If there is one thing that can be confusing, it’s trying to nail all of the different terminology for all the different gun parts on all the different guns.
