6 1/2" AR15 SBR Flash Hider Test

[thefatguy556]

... for when you deem it necessary to ignite the perp in addition to turning him into a 30 round pin cushion...

is the loss in balistics really worth shortening the barrel for easy concealing and handeling the weapon.

[hypercruiser2003]

If its used what it is designed for, the loss in ballistics won't matter. Imagine yourself SWAT or military screening a building, would you rather have a 20" barrel with great ballistics or a 6" with less? I think at that range you wouldn't notice a difference.

[dp665]

true. just asking cuz ive been depating between on sbring a rifle. so another question if you register a lower as a sbr and you decide one day to put a full lenght upper on it is it illegal cuz its registered as a sbr.

[PeerlessWonder]

that is a huge difference in muzzle flash.

big fan of the sundevil receivers just sold my gen 2 to buy a gen 3. I wont buy any other brand

[RangerDanger4x4]

well unless you are going with a bull barrel, fluted or free floating short barrel to lessen harmonics.

[billson556]

Well, if U had a barrel on it, then the flash wouldn't be that much of a problem, LOL I could see the 14.5inch on the M4, but less than that just takes a good thing and gays it up!

[hypercruiser2003]

Have you ever had to haul a rifle over long distances, crawl with one, or many other scenarios? Try the military or law enforcement, thats what this rifle is made for. So if you want to call it gay, go talk to any law enforcmement officer or military personnel and ask them if its gay or not.

[billson556]

umm, yea every time I go shooting its about a mile walk, and I hav the 8+ pound M16 (20 inch barrel) and the Army might use barrel-less pistols, but I know that the Marines stick with the M16 and its 20 inch barrel, U familiar with ballistics? bacause that 6 inch barreled 5.56 is very similar to a 22 rimfire magnum with a 18 or 20 inch barrel, obviously the 5.56 has a better heavier bullet, but its close, and that flash is just unburnt powder, thats why its so big with short barrels!!!

[ELITEHAMSTER123]

@hypercruiser2003 way better than an mp5. Stronger, shorter and more practical, as you can do tactical reloads much more efficiently with a firing hand operated magazine catch than with a thumb catch.

[mopitz]

You obviously aren't on a SWAT or Hostage retrieval team. Accuracy isn't affected by shorter barrels only velocity- how ofter do you shoot 400 yards?

Think before you write...

[RangerDanger4x4]

accuracy is indeed affected by shorter barrels, do YOU know what you are talking about?

[AreThereNoMoreNames]

Accuracy is affected by shorter barrels, but a shorter barrel of the same contour of a thick one is going to be capable of shooting better groups at close ranges. It's because as you make barrel longer, you make it more flexible, and as it becomes more flexible, it's going to move more when fired. However, SBRs will lose sight radius, and if you're using irons, it may cause an increase in shooter error.

Look at guys shooting one hole groups with their T/C pistols and say short barrels suck.

[soldierboy425]

I was in the army (3rd i.d. & 425th c.a.) and I can vouch for that barrel, clearing a room with a 14.5" or even 16" is a pain in rear, your not looking to pick some on off down the street just accross the room.
