	Flash suppressor@Everything2.com
		A flash suppressor is a device that fits on the tip of the barrel of a gun, in the same place as a silencer.
		It is a common misconception that the function of a flash suppressor is to hide the flash from the enemy; it isn't.
		The point of a Flash/Sound suppressor is one, to minimize or eliminate muzzle flash both for the purpose of not blinding the operator and also to hide one's position from the adversary, and two, to make the report of firing the weapon sound distinctly different from the sound of a weapon being fired.

		What she was referring to is a flash suppressor which are found on most assault rifles.
		A flash suppressor is not a "silencer" and only provides minimal diminution of the muzzle flash of a firearm.
		It does not matter if the sniper's weapon is equipped with a flash suppressor or not: in the daytime a muzzle flash is not visible and at night it is visible -- with or without a flash suppressor.

	Suppressor Summary
		A suppressor, also commonly known as a silencer, is a device attached to a firearm to reduce the amount of noise and flash generated by firing the weapon.
		Adding the mass of a suppressor to the mass of the recoiling parts means that attaching a suppressor will significantly alter the operation of the gun; in most cases, it stops the slide from unlocking at all, and effectively turns the semiautomatic pistol into a bolt action.
		Suppressors are most effective to the side and rear of the shooter, so a suppressor could be used by a sniper effectively.

		A flash suppressor, also known as a flash hider, flash guard, flash eliminator, or flash cone, is a device attached to a rifle or other gun that directs hot escaping gases from the barrel end.
		Military flash suppressors are designed to reduce the muzzle flash from the shooter to preserve their night vision, usually by directing the incandescent gases to the sides, away from the line of sight of the shooter.
		Flash hiders are often used as a muzzle brake as well by symmetrically cutting slits near the top, but not the bottom, of the hider, which then provides some down-force on firing as the gases escape upwards, thereby reducing muzzle climb, as well as dust kick up.

		A flash suppressor is a device attached to a rifle to reduce the brilliant muzzle flash which occurs upon firing.
		Flash suppressors are used on military rifles to reduce the likelihood and accuracy of any return fire.
		Muzzle flash can also be controlled by using cartridges with a faster-burning powder, so that the propellant gases will already have begun to cool by the time they exit the barrel.

		Mark 23 with a suppressor A suppressor (popularly known as a silencer, although no suppressor silences a firearm completely), is a device attached to a firearm to reduce the amount of noise and flash generated by firing the weapon.
		On the other hand, flash suppressors, and barrel shrouds were seen as 'military' features, and were on the list of features that, provided enough features were also present on the semi-automatic rifle, then the rifle was defined as illegal, if manufactured after the effective date of the ban.
		Category: Firearm components A muzzle booster or recoil booster is a device affixed to the muzzle of a firearm, intended to harness the energy of the escaping propellant to augment the force of recoil on portions of the firearm.

		It is commonly thought that they are used on military rifles to reduce visibility to the enemy, but the size of a device necessary to hide the muzzle flash from an enemy during the night would be prohibitive.
		Flash suppressors are designed to hide the muzzle flash from the shooter to preserve his or her night vision, usually by directing the incandescent gasses downward, away from the line of sight of the shooter.

	Reflex Suppressors for .50 cal. rifles
		A flash suppressor provides the powder gases a minor extra volume in front of the muzzle to drop their pressure and temperature by expansion to be significantly less eager to ignite themselves when colliding with oxygen of the air.
		The well known recoil-action Barrett M82 with model BT8 Telescopic Reflex Suppressor is almost comfortable to shoot, regarding the suppressing effect on noise and the absence of pressure shock on shooter and spotter.
		Because a suppressor adds the mass of the recoil action barrel of the M82, some shooters use a stiff spiral spring seen in the photo above between the suppressor and the receiver to further soften the felt recoil.

	Flash Suppressor IFRAME
		We made some for the HK Tactical 45 and found the same flash reduction but muzzle flip on the Tactical was reduced 50% (measured with a high speed camera) - bear in mind the Tactical 45's natural muzzle flip is more than twice that of the MK23 due to it's lighter mass.
		In December of 1999, after having received a number of user reports that their vortex accurizer / flash suppressor tightened their groups, we tested both the MK23 and Tactical 45 on a Ranson Rest and measured groups tightening by 30 - 35%.
		The explanation for the accuracy enhancement has to be the flash suppressor eliminating "dirty air" from being created ahead of the bullet by expansion gas.

		A flash suppressor is a device which diminishes the visible flash which occurs at the muzzle of a firearm as the bullet leaves the barrel.
		While certain devices are exclusively designed as flash suppressors, many other muzzle attachments are designed to perform multiple functions such as a combination flash suppressor and grenade launcher, or a combination flash suppressor and muzzle break.
		A firearm silencer or muffler would also function as an effective flash suppressor; therefore, a semiautomatic rifle, such as an AR- 15, having a silencer or muffler and a pistol grip would qualify as a semiautomatic assault weapon as that term is defined in section 921(a)(30)(B).

		Other benefits of a suppressor are the elimination of muzzle flash and reducing recoil by 20% to 30%.
		Some suppressors are maintenance free, others you have to clean after a specified number of thousands of rounds as per the manufacturer instructions.
		If you are considering the employment of a suppressor, consider having it permanently attached to the patrol rifle with a routine of scheduled maintenance.

	Keep and Bear Arms
		The definition of a “flash suppressor,” as included in the proposed regulations pertaining to legislatively-defined Assault Weapons is inadequate.
		It is conceivable that from the position of the target, that when used with a slow-burning powder, a conventional “flash suppressor” might actually increase the perceived flash as the large volume of burning powder is dispersed over a larger than usual area.
		(Note that some flash suppressors do not port the gasses at right angles.) That is, they divert some of the gases so that they exit the barrel at right angles to the flight path common to the bullet and the majority of the incandescent gas and burning powder.

	America's Rifle: The AR
		Flash hiders--the cone-type flash hiders used on some Lee-Enfield carbines in World War II, for example--attempt to preserve a shooter's night vision by shielding his eyes from muzzle flash, but they do little to prevent an enemy from seeing it.
		A flash suppressor is designed to break up and rapidly mix the exiting gases with ambient air, thereby reducing shock-wave pressure.
		Suppressors also break up the gas cloud, so resulting fireballs are much smaller and dimmer than would result from one large gas bubble.

		I also put an A2 flash suppressor on my original 180 as the 3 prong just doesn't do it for me. I still have the 3 prong and an extra for the 180B if I ever decide to go that route.

		Flash Dryer is a pneumatic system primarily used to dry products requiring the removal of free moisture.
		Typically, cyclones are followed by scrubbers or bag filters for final cleaning of the exhaust gases to meet current emission requirements.
		Elevated drying temperatures can be used with many products since the flashing off of surface moisture instantly cools the drying gas without appreciably increasing the product temperature.

		This causes the escaping blast to try and rotate the suppressor to the clockwise direction (again as seen from the muzzle) which is the direction of rotation of the threads to tighten.
		The image to the right is a comparison of the two styles of flash suppressor and shows the directions of torque generated when firing the Mark23 with the suppressor - as seen from the muzzle end.
		CCF indicated that the tollerance variation in the threads (probably due to the varying thickness of the barrel finish) causes the same flash suppressor to be tight on one barrel and loose on another).
