And yes, my shoulder was a bit sore after shooting off a few boxes of 3" magnums. It's amazing how much of a difference that little bit of charge makes because the 2 3/4" 00-buck rounds were easy to fire. Normally I square-off with the target, but with the 3" magnums I just HAD to put my right foot back a little because it was literally pushing me backwards when I was squaring my feet off with the target, lol. And holy crap, the 3" magnums kicked my ass. But recently I took my 870 out to the range, bought a bunch of 2 3/4" 00-buck shot and 3" magnum 000-buck shots with me. Between not having a lot of spare time and not having a lot of spare money for ammo and range fees, I just haven't found the time. I've been shooting for about 20 years now, but have to admit the last year or more I haven't really gone to the range much. Phew, so I don't feel so bad anymore, lol.

45ACP :) The shotty beats my shoulder up too much, just thinking about the 3" magnums (fired a few of those), makes me ache! I have an old neck injury on that side and I can only put about four rounds through my shotgun before I'm in a lot of pain :( But not as bright or as big as in this game still. As I understand it, it chances of flash increase with shots fired between cleanings. You DO INDEED see muzzle flashes.just not every shot fired.and not typically a brilliant ball but a quick flash of flame. The footage Booster posted I think is a perfect example. And, note too that milspec rounds are typically loaded hotter than their civillian counterparts. And I agree with what several have said, and I can tell you AS a handloader.there's a difference in powders used for civillian ammunition vs military. Go read the wikipedia article about it, just look up smokeless powder, it's a very good article. I think what folks don't understand is there's a reason modern powder is called "smokeless". And my 870 didn't make much at all if any. My friend's AK47 made a bit of flash but it was not every shot, more like every fifth you'd get a little flash. My Rock River AR15 with the hybrid comp/hider (standard A3 IIRC?), in low light and night time shooting made next to no visible flashes except for every now and then. 44 revolver I fired (Ruger Super Redhawk), made surprisingly little flash.

Standard milspec ammo in the 1911 made moderate to no flash each shot. But, even then I STILL had to load up +P to make a nice big ball 'o flame.

What made the biggest flash? My Colt 1911 Series 80 hands down. I've fired several rifles, pistols and even a shotgun or two at night. The muzzle device you're looking at is a Smith Industries Vortex flash suppressor, one of the most effective flash suppressors on the market. How do you know that the flash hider seen there isn't an attachment? The thing that actually worries me a tiny bit it the complete lack of any gun smoke from any weapon fire. clearly the US DOD would want to carry over that characteristic into a new service rifle and cartridge ( in one of the videos i could have sworn that jay or ivan said the US is using caseless ammo, but we see ejection ports? and cases in a couple instances? or maybe they are just polymer cases)Īnd bear in mind the new US army M855A1 556mm round is designed to produce even less flash then the older issued M855 ammo (what most of us have seen and used). the best BIS flashes thus far is the current (SMALL) SCAR flashes in ArmA2. Unless there is some property of the 6.5 caseless cartridge that makes a huge flash there is no reason other than "ooooh shiny" to those flashes. I think it is pretty obvious that the 6.5 MX rifle is long enough and has a flash HIDER to warrant almost no flash.
