I have never seen (or heard) a flash can in use. Just how effective are they for noise reduction (for the shooter) purposes?



Very little to no difference for the shooter. Blast cans are for keeping the muzzle blast from bothering teammates. Putting a 2.5” device on the muzzle to reduce sideways blast= why not just use a longer barrel.

I use 10.3”, 11.5”, 12.5”, and 14.5” guns weekly in close proximity to others inside structures and it has always struck me odd that people worry about the blast. You wear eye and ear pro, therefore it’s just wind that hits you.
