OK I know its the movies but I want a flash suppressor like the guys have on their AR-15's in the movies.  They don't hide the flash but rather the flash comes out in about 6 or 8 spots around the end of the barrel.  They look just like the A2 flash suppressor I have on my AR.  I'm not going to war so giving up my location to the enemy is not a worry.  I want some fireworks coming out of my barrel.  I know what kind of ammo you shoot has a lot to do with it too.  Does anyone know what they use to get that affect?  

That's what an A2 does.  I don't understand your question.

On one if the shows on Discovery Channel the said that they loaded the blanks for the ARs in movies with large quantities of fast burning powder (pistol powder?) to get the most flash.
Remember these are BLANKS- NO BULLETS- DO NOT TRY AT HOME!

Flash hider is different than flash suppressor. A2 is a flash hider/compensator.

Quoted: That's what an A2 does.  I don't understand your question.

No, that's not what an A2 does.

"movie flash" is a combination of specially loaded blanks and modified flash suppressors with muzzle constriction (for auto operation with blanks) that directs pressure radially out the vents in the FS.  In short, you CAN'T get that "look" from live ammo firing.

Take a look at this YHM Phantom Comp/Brake model YHM-5M1 & YHM-5M2 (“no snag” design) "NOTE: This is NOT a Flash Hider".

If you try to use high flash brands of ammo you might get what you want but not as good as the movies special effects.
