Thread: Is the A2 muzzle device a flash hider or muzzle brake?

At the end of the day let me present this scenario: If the Police stopped you on the side of the road while transporting an A cat AR15 with an A2, or if you came into contact with them in person, for whatever reason, would the officer be more likely to assume the muzzle device was a flash hider or compensator?
Considering Police are issued M4s with A2 'flash hiders' or 'compensators', however you might refer to them, I don't think this scenario would play out well. Irregardless of legality, I think it's more likely prosecution would occur rather than accepting the argument on the spot that it's technically a compensator.
Not providing advice just my thoughts.
