Thanks guys, always so informative.
I keep my flash hider pointed down like the holes in it idk I bought it like that but wouldn’t it be better to have them facing down so the flames dont come up into ur line of sight I shoot medium range like 100m to around 300m in prone would it better if I had them facing upwards
SBR is watching this video pretty much holding a Flash Hider hostage.
I'd love to see a demonstration
I guess my barrel is just too short for that flash reducer to do much lol
yes sir

That 1st one is more of a flash hider than a comp
why choose a comp/ flash hider with the warcomp as the comp example. Then an A2 birdcage as the flash hider? Saying thats a hybrid when the War comp is really the best of both worlds. break is a good example though. trash video. watched it 10 times while commenting so i guess you win.
Make suppressors muzzle decices again.
My buddy has a brake on his AR and I HATE shooting next to him. Seems excessive for a 5.56, and it annoys the shit out of me when I’m trying to aim
what about a linear compensator?
What rifle is that with the muzzle brake on it. Beautiful weapon
Word talking man neglects to mention suppressors.
"Compensator" Not only reduces "muzzle climb", but helps evacuate pressure in front of the round faster, allowing the round to pick up a little more speed.
The best flash hiders induce Venturi-effect to the ejecting gas.
First one is far more flash than comp. Nonetheless, I suppose the point stands
You know what’s funny? Everything except the flash hider (A2-birdcage) is illegal in NJ. Why? Literally no explanation except it helps the shooter see their target….
Probably worth mentioning a flash hider reduces the flash signature for the shooter specifically – it helps to stop you accidentally blinding yourself when firing at night but doesn't really do anything to actually reduce the visibility of the flash to others.
Not YouTube showing me this video for the 7th time this year
I’m looking to own a gun in the future. Thank you for putting out this video. There’s so many different things out there that I don’t understand. This video covered some of it.
Short, to the point, and informative. I learned. Thank you sir.
FINALLY
thank you, i was always wondered as to what these things do. I always thought they were just decorations
e600 20 1 Bull
why not explain how the flashhider does what it does?
a2 flash hider comes on literally every ar ive ever seen lol have it on 3 of mine
Why don't they put at least two inline after eachother? 2x benefits?
Beard tho
went to follow and realized i already do
And we can 3D print all of these devices now, love it.
Three prong is considered a flash hider
Thank you for the info, I never knew that. You learn something new every day!!!!!
he didnt mention suppresors, i wonder why?
All illegal in Illinois
politicians and their silly gun laws
I’m the 50k like

The entire thing is a compensator,
like how short dudes drive large trucks
For owning, or working at a gun store, you're pretty ignorant. That is NOT called a "flash hider". Where did you motards come up with that nonsense? It is called a FLASH SUPPRESSOR, it has ALWAYS been a flash suppressor, for decades, but now you pull this ridiculous term "flash hider" out of your ass and you expect people to actually believe that you know what you're talking about??






Get outta here, go flip burgers. GOD help us.
i use the one that looks the coolest, hell you can put a kazoo on the end of a 556/223 and it still perform. not that crazy of a round.
All the shops ive been to in ct yet are all fuds that or your age and act like they dont even want you in the store
This guy is a perfect example.of why a beard doesn't make you a weapons expert
Military experience is only thing that does…..
All 3 aid in recoil reduction on a weapon that has 3 points of contact and VERY easy to manage….. and yet people will make fun of people for having a comp or porting on a 9mm pistol. The same can be said for red dots.
Less recoil is ALWAYS a win for a shooter.
Review how muzzle brakes work. You are incorrect.
They do not push the barrel forward. They re-vector gasses to reduce gas pressure and volume being vented in the same direction as the projectile.
This causes a reduction of thrust in a reward direction towards the shooter.
You say pushes against?
Reaction force to that push?
A muzzle brake is essentially just a lateral venting mechanism until the bullet is clear of the muzzle device.
That compensator is a hybrid comp/flash hider, so it doesn't do either job perfectly. Still really neat!
What about diffusers
Muzzle brakes on an AR are ridiculously stupid and pointless. They are nothing but cool points for the uneducated. The only benefit ever is a maybe sacrificial baffle to prolong the life of your suppressor
