The Dragunov SVD and Zastava M-76 both have effective flash hiders, even when viewed from the receiving end.The Dragunov flash hider was also designed to significantly reduce the muzzle flash at the users end when using night vision optics, there were also special removable flash hiders designed specifically for both the AKM and PKM machine gun for use with NV scopes.Blackstuff wrote:I have a letter from the HO that states individual parts for a S5 (ab) firearm (AKA semi-auto rifle) are in fact considered to be S1 parts and a S5 firearm only exists with all parts assembled/in one location.
I think the problem, as stated earlier, is these sorts of things rarely get to a court and there's no 'standard practice' for them.
Other than the devices fitted to an XM177 and AKS-74U (both of which are dual purpose devices and not even JUST flash-hiders), I've never seen a flash-hider that actually diminishes flash, from the targets perspective anyway. Most make what would appear as a white/yellow dot 2-4" wide into a 6-20" wide star of varying number of 'spokes' depending on the model
