Usually, slots OR holes are required to allow air to get to the escaping powder and allow it to combust. What I mean in my previous post is that the presence of a slot or a hole does not allow one to distinguish
per se whether something is a flash hider or muzzle brake (meaning, you can't say: flash hiders have slots, muzzle brakes have holes).
Also, there are some flash hiders that have neither slots nor holes. For example, the original conical flash hider on the M1 Carbine or a similar muzzle device on AK74s(?) I believe.
