Flash Hiders Are Important For Night Shooting

By Albina A. Bailey


The mechanics of a gun produce a flash when a gun is fired, but that can be virtually eliminated when flash hiders are utilized. By rapidly cooling combustible propellant gases at the tip of the barrel, it practically eradicates the bright, telltale explosive light that quickly reveals the location of the shooter and also leads to temporary reduced vision.

These have become important devices for shorter barreled guns that have unburned gases exiting the firearm, which is less of a problem with rifles that allow propellants to cool sufficiently before the munitions leaves the gun. As with other gun options, 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 not restricted to one type and include cone, duckbill and birdcage designs. Depending which type of gun is being fitted will decide the model of flash hider best suited for the firearm and application. If flash blindness is an issue, consider having your firearm fitted with the proper assembly. Although these are very beneficial, check with your local authorities to determine if their use is allowed in your area.
