How about a super A2? A2 spec with 20% better muzzle rise compensation performance, and none of the extra flash, concussion and noise typically associated with a brake or comp, the 6315

Midwest Industries has an inexpensive two chambered brake. It works very well but the people on either side may get a bit tired of it.
No free lunch with a brake or comp. A hybrid device can mitigate flash, dampen muzzle rise, or reduce recoil. A pure brake or comp is fine for gaming guns, but for defense, both are terrible.
The fun part of our 6315, 6310 (5/8x24), 1815 and 1810 (5/8x24) project is to squeeze as much muzzle rise compensation out of an A2 sized muzzle device without incurring more concussion and noise.
1815 (and its .308 counterpart, the 1810) will be in production shortly, so we can now show the prototype. It's an open ended, 3 prong flash suppressor, with asymmetrical ports (12 o'clock port is wider than the other two ports), and the two side facing ports are angled upward to vent gas up, not sideways, to help keep the muzzle flat.

Material is 4140, heat treated and black nitride coated. If hit hard enough anything can bend. The bottom pic shows the upper 2 prongs as shorter, it's not an optical illusion. There's a slight 5 degree cant at the tip, the 6 o'clock portion sticks out slightly further than the two top prongs to have more gas vent upward, it happens to offer some protection. The thickness on these prongs are much thicker than the ones that peeled like a banana

Is there an advantage to the open FH as oppposed to the closed type? Do they mitigate flash better or is there something else going on?
I've read elsewhere in regards to Surefire SOCOM mounts; 3prong > 4 prong > closed tine.
Surefire refuses to bring the 4p into the civvie market due to the fact that the 3p is superior. And the military keeps buying the 4p because it's in the system already, and most of the time the mount has a suppressor, so the inferior flash hiding aspect doesn't matter.
