A flash hider is a device that is attached to the muzzle of a rifle. Its purpose is to reduce the visible signs of the firearm when fired, by eliminating or dissipating the muzzle flash. Flash hiders come in a variety of designs, but most operate using one or more prongs or vents that redirect hot gases away from the shooter’s line of sight. Some flash hiders also incorporate features that help to reduce recoil, making them popular with shooters who are trying to minimize felt recoil from their rifles.
