Are you going to make us google what that is?

I'm building an AR and want to use a flash can. It doesn't hide the flash, just forces it forward but would that still be considered a flashhider? I can't find anything in the current law that names flashcans as illegal but maybe someone out there who knows something about this can enlighten me . TIA

California doesn't use the term "Flash Can" or "Flash Hider."

A "Flash Suppressor" is defined in Title 11 of the California Code of Regulations, section 5471 as follows:


Please note that a "Flash Suppressor" is not illegal to possess. However if one is attached to a centerfire rifle having a detachable magazine, then the weapon becomes an "Assault Weapon."

Since the "Flash Can" directs the flash forward, it would have the effect of reducing the flash visible to the shooter and would therefore be a "Flash Suppressor."
