Quoted: A2 birdcage. Looks cool. I just bought a replacement for my post-ban Bushmaster AK Shorty. Stay away from the AK-style brake. It is miserable to be around...very loud. I replaced my AK Shorty A2 upper with an A3 16" with a birdcage flash hider. Looks great and is not near as loud.

You know, you can purchase a flash suppressor that "looks cool" and suppresses almost all of the flash. For a 16" rifle, the A2 flash suppressor ain't it. It will work well on a 20" bbl but not so on a 16". For a 16", you're much better off with a any of the Phantoms or a Vortex.
There have been tests by board members that have clearly shown (via photographs) that the Phantom and Vortex are the 2 best flash suppressors.
However, if you just want something that "looks cool" and you don't care about function then get whatever you want.
BTW, read my sig line. It says it all.
