Why does the flash from a rifle barrel not blind you when using night vision? That may be a real dumb question but the flame from an sbr is substantial.

Because we use suppressors.  

Autogating may help with that along with a good muzzle device like the FSC.

Thank you. I hadn't heard of autogating. I was shooting off fireworks for thanksgiving and thought about it.

I have had PVS-7's shut down to protect the tube on a 16" AR with a top ported recoil compensated. They wake back up a few seconds later. Switching to a phantom fixed the problem.
