#1 the insurgents were punching holes in the concrete walls of homes, inserting a long pipe in the hole and firing through it. "They shoot at you all day and youâll never see the muzzle flash or the gun smoke," he said.

Is this a new one?

#2 Has to affect accuracy big time, doesn't it?

#3 Chuck, I believe he means something along the lines of a at least 4"- 6" pipe. Stick it through the wall to hide the barrel of the weapon. You can still aim and fire the weapon ok, but it'll hide the muzzle flash. Old tactic, I believe I saw it in a old WW1 manual.
