Very well .... a very close second to the Vortex.
There is a thread with pictures of the different hiders an the amount of flash they suppress ... I tried to do a search but could not find it . Hope somebody will post the link soon. |

i like them and rate them as close to equal in flash hiding/supressing
the 5c1 5c2 have the closed bottom which limits the amount of dust kick up and helps slightly with muzzle climb. of course this is my 0.02 and ymmv |

I have a Vortex, the YHM-28 and the 5C2. I like them all, and I honestly can't tell the difference between them in regard to flash. However, I think the dust signature reducing property of the 5C2 is over rated. My SAM kicks up a hell of a dust cloud.
YMMV |

Unless you need it to weld on and make length, I don't see a point. Its not that much better than A2 to be worth the length.

I got one on my 14.5 to avoid the whole NFA thing, and 'cause I think 16 inch M4's look goofy.
The FS looks badass, that I know. It also worked well when I beat a couple people with it in this dream I had. YMMV on that note, of course, since it was in my head. And many things happen in my head. |

CJ, I have to disagree (not because of your age  ) the Phantom is by far superior to the A2 in flash suppression , not to mention the "length" is a whole what...extra 1/2" give or take...I see no reason to have an A2 on any rig these days other than nostaglia. JMHO. |

Don't forget it looks badass and you can poke people with it. Because it does and you can. |

 Thats exactly why the phantom is on my rifle and my vortex is in my spare box!

In my research on the subject the A2 can and has caused a decrease in accuracy when used. The Phantom and Vortex do not cause an accuracy degrade. I would say there is a more noticable change going from a bare muzzle to A2 than from A2 to Phantom but its a HUGE difference. In the test above the Phantom seems better than the Vortex to me.
