Like the topic says, I need something that'll pretty much hide the fireball.
Suggestions please |
Budget? Preferred style? caliber? BArrel length? Recoil reduction? What do you have now? You gotta narrow it down some because there is a shit ton of flash suppressors out there that will do the job. SOme are better than otehrs, some make noise, some cost an extra $200...

Best bang for the buck are the YHM 5C1 and/or 5C2. No pun intended. For $30 they do a fine job of hiding the flash. You can get a better FH but it will cost at least twice as much. YHM 5C1 http://i33.tinypic.com/nle62w.jpg +1 on the Phantom 5C1, if you look around you can get them for $25 shipped. The next best (for cheap) is an A2 flashider. People don't think they are "cool" but they actually work very well....<><....:) |

Test photos are honestly a better way to compare flash, than videos, or even seeing them in person (if properly done). Videos may miss the flash if the peak flash is not timed with the frame rate of the camera. And most video cameras don't allow you to control the aperture.
Here are two test photos, done by Robert Silvers the inventor of the Blackout (so he may have some bias) linked because of size. A2 vs Blackout vs BE Meyers (Surefire uses this on some of their adapters) http://www.lazyeights.net/Avion/FH_TST.jpg Original M-16 vs A2 vs Unknown (not the Blackout) vs Vortex vs Two different versions of the Phantom http://www.lazyeights.net/Avion/FH_TST_2.jpg Personally my choice was dictated by my choice of suppressors. I run Blackouts. |
| Suppressor is the only thing that will all but eliminate it. If you cant/wont go that far the Vortex and Blackout are where its at. Also ammunition selections make a big difference in flash as well. High quality home defense stuff is a lot less of a firestarter than say cheap plinking ammo. |
