Can anyone help me with this question...  What's the difference between a flash supressor & a muzzle brake?  The way I understand it is that muzzle brake's function is to improve accuracy by preventing muzzle climb.  So why is the A2 "birdcage" style 'flash supressor' banned?  Considering that it is only "slitted" on the top and sides.  Which would naturally decrease muzzle climb.  Also, does anyone know of a list of ATF approved, perm. attachable brakes? Because I can't find jack about it.

A flash suppressor is evil because it can hide your location in the event you're sniping people... Who says laws have to make sense?
Muzzle brakes reduce what little recoil is produced by the .223 and increases the sound significantly.
The muzzle cannot be threaded on a postban either, that's evil too. [rolleyes]

A flash supressor is a handy little attachment to reduce signature, whereas a muzzle brake is a useless piece of junk (on a .223) that significantly reduces hearing.
