ABSTRACT:
A gas regulator which incorporates a flash hider for use with gas operated firearms. By incorporating a flash hider around the gas vent for the host firearms operating system, unburnt particles which produce flash from this exit point may be effectively disrupted. By disrupting and redirecting these unburnt powder particles flash is thereby eliminated from the firearms operating system. In the preferred embodiment, an open-pronged flash hider is used, but the device is not limited to this specific design. Military end users are particularly interested in an article of manufacture which eliminates flash from the gas system since it will disrupt the use of night vision and give away a soldier's position during low light or no light operations.
