Generally speaking, none of the Russian assault rifles have 'flash hiders' in the way that Western weapons do.

Too bad I'm left handed, the AKM brake will help with the muzzle climb upwards, but would actually add to left. They should have made it with two stop positions, so you can mount it facing either direction.
