Too much concussive blast from an A2 flash hider?
« on: March 29, 2025, 08:26:43 AM »
Are you bothered by too much concussive blast from an A2 flash hider? Me neither! But It must be a problem for some people. At least Strike Industries thinks that it is. Or wants us to think it is. This could possibly help if you're standing shoulder to shoulder at an indoor range, or have other limited application, I guess. If you think this is something useful, and not a solution to a non-existent problem, act now. The Strike Blast Shield for A2 Birdcage Flash Hider is Early Bird Special priced at $75. The MSRP is $99.95 and they'll be going up soon.

I'm not bothered by the noise or flash, and wouldn't use that thing....but I do like a linear comp for slim-line appearance.
My favorite was made by a guy in AZ. It's not much larger in diameter than the barrel and has forward-facing ports. Sadly the guy is no longer in business and I can't find anything similar..... I knew I should've ordered several.

Since I don't have a sound suppressor, I'll settle for a flash suppressor or a compensator. But never a muzzle brake, and thus, no need to cover it up to protect others from the excessive muzzle blast. I've often wondered if linear comps actually work as compensators or not. I don't see how they could really do much if all the gas is going forward. A bare muzzle does that too and doesn't have a compensating effect. Other than adding weight and length to the barrel, I don't see how the ones I've seen can have an effect.
