With all of that said, our flash suppression winner is… drum roll please…Ĭlick any of the charts, graphs, and photographs that follow to enlarge them. With an ambient reading of 0.25, it sure didn’t add much. For example, our winner turned in a result of just 0.31 Lux. The light meter was not “zeroed” out, so all of the Lux readings to follow “include” the ambient light level. For reference, 0.25 Lux is apparently about how bright a 3/4-full moon makes the ground. Thanks to the artificially-lighted environment inside of Sharp Shooting’s range, the light meter read a consistent 0.25 Lux during the entirety of the testing. This was all fired through my go-to upper, which is an Adams Arms complete piston upper with 16″ barrel.Same goes for the light meter, which recorded the peak brightness moment of all three of those shots. This means every photo seen below is actually three gunshots all captured on one camera shot. Three shots of American Eagle 5.56 were fired while the camera’s shutter was open.It was set on “peak hold” to hopefully record the brightest single moment for each FH. The light meter I purchased is capable of recording flashes as brief as 10 milliseconds.The light meter was placed about two feet from the muzzle off at a ~45° angle to the front and slightly elevated, which should have ensured its ability to “see” brightness from the side, top, and out the muzzle of each device.The shutter was open for 3.2 seconds for each FH.

and should have every single PWS product in stock and they ship ’em free of charge. In fact, they’re one of the largest Primary Weapons Systems dealers in the U.S. Sharp Shooting has dozens of flash hiders, brakes, triggers, grips, optics, and just about every other rifle part you can think of in stock along with many hundreds of firearms, NFA items, holsters, ammo, and other gear. They were nice enough to not only loan me their entire south shooting bay with all of the lights turned off, but also loaned me a couple of the muzzle devices seen here. As a Patron you can also get free stuff, join live streams, gain early access, and more.įirst, this test was made possible thanks to Sharp Shooting Indoor Range & Gun Shop in Spokane, WA. Please consider supporting this sort of testing via my Patreon page.
I also want to do another AR-15 trigger roundup (component triggers this time) and a couple of flashlight roundups (tactical and gun-mounted). But I have a lot of brakes to round up for that and the funding is low. I’ve purchased air pressure sensors designed to log blast waves so we can compare the amount of concussion each muzzle device generates, and these will be used in test four. These tests are expensive, but I’d love to do more.
