Safeguard Your Firearm's Identity With Flash Hiders

By Albina A. Bailey


Firing a gun creates acoustic and visual effects, but the latter can be virtually eliminated with flash hiders. These attachments are fitted to the tip of the gun to permit propellant gases to quickly cool and prevent the characteristic flash, which can be an important feature for night shooting and in military applications when concealment is needed.

Firearms with shorter barrels often have unspent gases that ignite upon leaving the gun that is corrected, whereas long barreled rifles usually do not have this issue. As with other gun accessories, flash hiders are identified by a number of various names such as flash suppressor, flash guard, flash eliminator, or flash cone and their description in Wikipedia is, "Flash suppressors reduce, or in some cases eliminate, the flash by rapidly cooling the gases as they leave the end of the barrel. Although the overall amount of burning propellant is unchanged, the density and temperature are greatly reduced, as is the brightness of the flash."

Flash suppressors are made in a number of designs that are described as cone, duckbill or birdcage. Depending which type of gun is being fitted will determine the model of flash hider best suited for the firearm and application. Having a firearm fitted with the proper accessory will greatly diminish the effect of flash blindness at night. The first step however is to determine the legality of these in your area, so it is advisable to consult with local authorities.
