Two common types of flash suppressors are the duckbill and birdcage suppressors. Duckbill flash suppressors have upper and lower "prongs" and direct gases to the sides. Early M60 machine guns and some early M16 models featured this type of flash suppressor. One disadvantage is that the prongs can become entangled with vines or other natural vegetation and objects in the field. Birdcage types still have prongs, but also feature a ring on the front to prevent vegetation from entanglement between the prongs. Another type of flash suppressor is a flash moderator, such as used on some CAR-15 models. An example of a cone-shaped hider is on the Bren machine gun and some models of the RPK and German MG3.

Mayor Daley: How to distract a press corps
I had a couple of interesting exchanges about gun control last week. One was a reasonable debate with a guy from the National Rifle Association who thinks Chicago (and everywhere else) would be better off if concealed weapons were legal. The other was with Mayor Daley, who didn't like a question I'd asked him and suggested maybe he could make his point better by sodomizing and shooting me.

Philippines: Right-to-Carry
Permit to carry firearms outside of residence does not merely recognize your legal right to defend yourself from being a victim, but upholds a higher human norm the inviolable natural right: 1) to life, for peace loving & responsible citizens 2) to struggle in the armed restoration of a sovereign, democratic and libertarian State, versus, a domestic would be tyrant, or a foreign ruler, which no agency of government, law or Constitution may -- I use the term "legitimately, suspend or veto.
