I took a few AK muzzle devices out to the range at night to see how much muzzle flash each would produce with Golden Tiger 124gr FMJ ammo.   The muzzle devices were:

-Krebs Custom Birdcage
-Damage Industries Brake
-CNC Warrior 4 Piece
-Yankee Hill Phantom
-Tapco Slot Device
-K-Var "AK 74" Brake

Top two at reducing muzzle flash were the CNC Warrior and Yankee Hill Phantom.   The Krebs Birdcage wasn't too far behind....

Here's the video showing the results so you can see for yourself:

Thanks for the review

Good vid, I enjoyed it.



Not at all surprised the Phantom did well, it has been considered a top performer for many years now.  People these days are always chasing the newest shiniest thing, and the old stand-bys like the Phantom sometimes get forgotten.

Thank you.   I agree--I have a Phantom on one of my SBR'd ARs and it even tames the flash on that thing.

The phantom is an excellent flash hider. Midwest Industries' muzzle device is excellent as well. Do you have PWS FSC to test?

Can I ask why you chose to add the Tapco Slot Muzzle Brake?

I use it and seems to be effective for me, but I don't have any experience with other brakes. As a side note, one reason I like it is it accepts bayonets. Other brakes I've noticed are too large for bayonet rings.

I just opened the parts bin and grabbed a bunch

Nothing to scientific here....

Fair enough.

What were your thoughts on that particular Tapco muzzle brake?

I'm not a fan.  It seems to somewhat work as a comp/brake but for the money I'd take the Damage Industries any day.

I ended up getting the fsc. I'll make a vid next time I'm at the range.
