This is a device which dampens the flame which comes out the muzzle of the gun when it is fired. The supressor reduces the dazzling light that would temporarily blind the shooter or reveal his position.
A flash suppressor is intended to dissipate muzzle flash so as not to hamper the firer's vision in low light conditions. Sometimes, a muzzle brake is mistaken for a flash suppressor. A muzzle brake vents gases from the barrel in a direction intended to counter the recoil of the weapon, thus making it more controllable. However, a flash suppressor does not function as a muzzle brake, nor does a muzzle brake function as a flash suppressor.
Well, a suppressor... suppresses. A flash suppressor reduced muzzle flash. A sound suppressor reduced noise emissions (although nothing like how they're portrayed in the movies).
The flash suppressor on an AR-15 is intended to reduce the visible signature of hot gases exiting the muzzle, so that the shooter will not be blinded. Additionally, the A2-style flash suppressors also act as a muzzle brake, counteracting the effects of recoil.
Not very likely. Muzzle brakes work by venting gases, whereas sound suppressors work in part by preventing the escape of these gases. Some flash suppressors are designed to facilitate the attachment of a sound suppressor, such as the Smith Vortex and AAC Blackout, but not muzzle brakes.
Suppressors (or moderators) may be attacked a number of ways, depending on the design of the suppressor. Some use the same threads which the flash suppressor uses, and require you to remove the flash suppressor first. However, you must also replace the standard crush washer with a peel washer when doing this. Some are designed to work in conjunction with a flash suppressor designed to facilitate the attachment of a sound suppressor.. Advanced Armaments designs come to mind here, with their suppressor-capable versions of the Blackout flash suppressor.
All suppressors reduce muzzle report and most reduce muzzle flash. Though brands vary, all accomplish the same basic task. Make sure to check size compatibility before purchasing a suppressor. Several US jurisdictions have outlawed the civilian possession of suppressors, as such, check local and state regulations before purchasing a suppressor.
Sound/flash suppressor.
Yes, factory made to be legal. Also since a suppressor diverts the gases created by the propellant it can replace a muzzle brake.
Yes- IF the flash suppressor is permanently attached by welding or hard (silver) solder, and is not readily removable.
While not designed to make a gun louder, a muzzle brake usually has that effect.
