A "true" flash-hider like this one designed for the M1 carbine: Is designed to not only prevent the enemy from seeing the "flash, but aids in preventing the flash from interferring with the shooter. This is a "flash-suppressor" (Phantom 5C2) which I suspect is what you are asking about:  You'll note, their abit different and while the Vortex G6, the A1 and the standard A2 along with the Phantom shown above ALL are flash-suppressors, a "true" flash-hider (shown on top above) often causes the intertwining and obscuring of the "actual differences" between these widely mis-used terms. There is a difference. Mike |
According to Feinstein, Schumer, Boxer, Kennedy, et al, a flashider is a cloaking device that also modifies your brainwaves so that you take a Romanian AK knockoff to a school and pick off 6 year-olds like a wolf eating chickens - much like the beast in the movie Predator hunting spec ops dudes in Central America.
