The TacFire 6 Prong Flash Hider for 5.56x45mm NATO (brand part no. MZ1005N) is an all-steel muzzle device built to cut visible muzzle flash and tame recoil and barrel whip on AR-platform rifles. TacFire threads it 1/2×28, the standard 5.56 muzzle pattern, and finishes it with a heat-treated, erosion-resistant black oxide coating that stands up to repeated firing. At 2.22 inches overall length, it adds minimal length to the muzzle while the open prong design vents gas to reduce both flash signature and felt recoil. It is a straightforward, no-frills upgrade over a standard A2 flash hider for shooters who want more control on target between shots.
