	You know the gatling gun the Iron Monger had? Well, the end of it's barrel does highly resemble the 30mm General Electric GAU-8/A Avenger. But what is the word or phrase I'm looking for on this attachment or part of the gatling gun? Like, is it "compensator", "barrel shroud", or "suppressor"? Because I found this similar part on the M61 Vulcan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M61_Vulcan The first picture on top of the page). Most of the pictures on wikipedia show the m61 without that attachment at the end of it's barrels. However, the GE GAU-8/A Avenger had that attachment/part positioned differently on it's barrels. So what is the word or term I'm looking for for this part/attachment? Compensator, Suppressor, or Shroud? Because I wanna design this part for my ripped minigun model from Payday 2 to make it look cool.

	::In the case of the GAU-8/A Avenger it is not a flash hider/suppressor, as if you look at an [https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-8jO_fw1Om8/maxresdefault.jpg image of the muzzle] you will see that the barrels are continuous inside of it through the holes without any porting. This part is actually called the "barrel clamp" and it is what holds the barrels in their correct alignment. Why it is a perforated tube like that I don't know, I assume for an aerodynamic effect or for cooling of the barrels. In the case of some Vulcan variants it actually is a flash suppressor as it extends ahead of the muzzle of the barrels. For something like this I think "flash suppressor" is a better term than "flash hider" as the purpose is not to try and hide the firers locations so much as to dazzle the pilot who is using it less. --[[User:Commando552\|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552\|talk]]) 13:16, 29 October 2016 (EDT)		::In the case of the GAU-8/A Avenger it is not a flash hider/suppressor, as if you look at an [https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-8jO_fw1Om8/maxresdefault.jpg image of the muzzle] you will see that the barrels are continuous inside of it through the holes without any porting.

	You know the gatling gun the Iron Monger had? Well, the end of it's barrel does highly resemble the 30mm General Electric GAU-8/A Avenger. But what is the word or phrase I'm looking for on this attachment or part of the gatling gun? Like, is it "compensator", "barrel shroud", or "suppressor"? Because I found this similar part on the M61 Vulcan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M61_Vulcan The first picture on top of the page). Most of the pictures on wikipedia show the m61 without that attachment at the end of it's barrels. However, the GE GAU-8/A Avenger had that attachment/part positioned differently on it's barrels. So what is the word or term I'm looking for for this part/attachment? Compensator, Suppressor, or Shroud? Because I wanna design this part for my ripped minigun model from Payday 2 to make it look cool. And not many guns (like sniper rifles, miniguns, and rocket/grenade launchers) have compensators.--[[User:Gunnerboy\|Gunnerboy]] ([[User talk:Gunnerboy\|talk]]) 23:38, 28 October 2016 (EDT)		You know the gatling gun the Iron Monger had?

	: It's generally just called a flash hider or flash suppressor - 'Shroud' would acceptable though many times they are used to indicate ones that are strictly cosmetic and have little if any effect on muzzle flash. Compensators particularly redirect muzzle blast in a manner to reduce muzzle climb, which mainly only applies to man-portable arms. 'Suppressor' is meant to indicate catch-all suppressors that suppress/diffuse sound of the shot in addition to reducing (usually near eliminating) muzzle blast.
