    They both look like 11.5" to me. Of course no idea on the ammo. Something between TAP and Tula

    I'm not convinced of anyone making any sort of point by making a video first off regarding sound performance of a suppressed 556 (since they all suck and are loud), and second using a video at an indoor range to compare the two. There are about a million technical reasons that you can't compare level or tone from a youtube video.

    Next, yes, one shot on the surefire does seem to have a large fireball on one of it's first shots, there are eight shots I saw flash from (in HD) with the AAC can. So.... I'm going to suggest that their claims of improved flash suppression are valid. I think this would require more testing to say anything about.

    Re-watched the videos and agree that it looks like 11.5"

    I agree that it's improved, but they seem to claim "very little/no first- round flash", unless I have misunderstood the claims. Further, as you're aware, sometimes flash doesn't show up on video because it's so fast. It well could have done more. Like you said, more research required to form a full opinion, but that huge fire-ball on a 16" barrel leads me to think the claims are a bit optimistic...

    I'm not seeing any 16" barrels.

    You're right, I don't know where I got that number, and I re-watched the video and concur with 11.5".
