Introducing the newest Shockwave™ Technologies Flash Forward™ muzzle device–now for any .30-caliber firearm with a 5/8”-24 threaded muzzle. Its design redirects the expanding gases at the muzzle of your firearm away from you and toward the target. In testing, we have seen the peak decibel reading at the shooter’s ear reduced by an average of 9.8 db**. (As the decibel is logarithmic, this is a very noticeable difference.) However, because the overall sound level isn’t affected—just redirected—the Flash Forward isn’t considered an NFA item. It’s classified as a simple “threaded muzzle device.”

This hard-anodized, 6061-T6 aluminum “can” mounts directly to your 5/8”-24 threaded muzzle. No need for shims or crush washers. For a semi-permanent installation, a bit of blue thread-locking compound works well.

 

Optionally, extend your pistol barrel to rifle length.

For a permanent installation, we offer an easy-to-use silver soldering kit. The silver solder we will offer has a melting point of 1,145 degrees. (ATF’s requirement is 1,100 degrees or more.) Contrary to what you may have heard, permanently attaching a muzzle device with silver solder really isn’t any more difficult than sweating copper tubing when doing plumbing. Given an overall length of 9.00” and assuming a threading interface of 0.625”, the Flash Forward lengthens your barrel by 8.375”. The 1.50” outer diameter fits under many popular handguards.

 

 

*Please note that OSHA’s “hearing safe” threshold is 140 dB. The Flash Forward is not an approved hearing-safe suppressor. Please always wear hearing protection, such as OSHA-approved ear plugs, earbuds, or over-the-ear earmuffs.

 

**Testing methodology: Larson Davis SoundTrack LxT decibel meter microphone placed 0.15 meters left of the left ear. Muzzle, ear, and microphone all located 1.6 meters above ground. 10 shots were fired outdoors—and an average calculated. Ammo: Hornady 190-Grain Sub-X 300 Blackout. Temperature: 72 degrees, sunny. Barometric pressure: 29.99 inches. Average wind speed: 1 mph. Altitude: 342 feet ASL. Humidity: 65 percent.

It says it lengthens the barrel by x inches, would it increase the velocity of the bullet as if the barrel was extended? Would it (velocity) be somewhere in between the original barrel length and with the flash forward? How does it impact velocity?

I just received my Flash Forward multi cal. I was a little surprised but I clearly see how it will function as described. I had envisioned a slightly different design internally but it WILL work. I’m commenting because I want others to know that despite what I thought, I’m going to get another one threaded in 5/8-24. Overall I like it. I was both surprised and impressed with it’s simple design. Good job Shockwave for an affordable, functional and well made product.
Thank you,

I’m not sure if you’ve already been answered or if you’ve purchased one yet but it only changes the overall length of your firearm. It IS NOT an extension of the barrel itself. It should not have an effect on the velocity of the round fired. It’s a muzzle device that directs the report forward of the muzzle. Thus the name. Flash Forward. I hope this helps.
