Look at the design of the ones that work vs the ones that don't, and then add some plasma physics.

No, I have no idea.

The best way to find out is to let someone shot toward you, but not at you with out
one and then with one on.

SAAB undercarriage treatment is best undercarriage treatment.

Treadmill. If you're not on a treadmill when you fire the rifle it won't work.

They use ambient barrel harmonics to reverberate the burned and unburned gun powder into a synchronized Venturi exhaust pattern so that they are absorbed by the external atmosphere with a rapidly expanding volume.

They don't, the crush washer crushes the flash.

Ya know... If you block off the end of the barrel with a piece of a carbide drill bit, you will have no flash what so ever.

This is the correct answer.

They diffuse the gasses coming out of the muzzle over a greater surface area, reducing any one large source of flash.

Posted: 12/15/2016 11:29:32 PM EDT

[#30]

They cool the exiting gases from the muzzle below their ignition temperature. Another way to reduce flash is to use powders that burn at a lower temperature such as triple base powders containing nitroguanidine.

They reduce the muzzle flash by quenching unburnt propellant by lowering it's temperature.

They also redirect a substantial portion of the remaining diminished fireball away from the sight of the shooter.

You know that thing about how bigger or smaller stars with higher or lower levels of pressure give off different amounts of light?

Its pretty much that on a smaller scale. Cool the gases and redirect them, reducing/spreading/altering the flame front so that it is less visible to the shooter and doesn't fuck over your night vision,.

Hook a water hose up to it and you will see what it does. Like they did at red jacket. Neva been don befo.

This. It works on the same principle as an encabulator, only with a through bore over the helical.

Tiny little mouse with a blanket covers the flash for every shot you take.

There's OPSEC so I can't share it with you.

I think you are referring to the turbo-encabulator, which is surmounted by housing that reduces the coefficient of flash magnification.

You ruined the fun in this thread with a reasonable explanation. If you know what you are saying or not, this thread will morph into a technical argument physicists and engineers will argue until making a epic treadmill thread.

They don't. That's why the HPA becoming law is so important.
