You can attach a suppressor to an A2 flash hider, but the add-on might not do much to reduce muzzle flash. Muzzle brakes and compensators are more effective at reducing muzzle rise, but they also redirect some of the blast and noise away from the shooter. Drug dealers use bottles or plastic bags to muffle gunshot sounds, but these improvised devices are often ineffective and can even amplify the report. A good quality suppressor will dissipate the energy of the escaping propellant gasses and can help to control muzzle rise. Additionally, most high-end silencers will decrease bullet velocity by a small amount, which can help minimize collateral damage resulting from over-penetration.
