Airsoft Flash Hiders
A flash hider is one of the easiest ways to change the look of your airsoft gun and complete a realistic build.
At Socom, we have a superb selection of handmade and steel flash hiders. Choose from a wide range of products and find a faithful replica to enhance your weapon with style.
Flash hiders also protect the threads on your outer barrel when you're not running a suppressor or tracer. Our airsoft flash hiders are made from high-quality, durable metals, making them perfect for battle simulation.
Always check the thread direction – most airsoft guns use 14mm counter-clockwise (CCW), while some use 14mm clockwise (CW). If you need to convert, take a look at our X-Power thread adapters.

Choosing a Flash Hider
Start with the thread: check whether your gun uses 14mm CCW or 14mm CW, and confirm the listing matches. Then think about length, as a longer muzzle device adds to the overall length of your gun. For a realistic build, choose a style that matches the real platform you're replicating. Before each game, check your muzzle device is screwed on firmly, as vibration can loosen it over time, and keep the threads clean so it seats properly.
Tracer Units
Mock suppressor tracers light up glow-in-the-dark BBs as they leave the barrel, which makes them popular for night games and indoor sites. Use tracer BBs with these units. Find more in our tracer units and receivers and outer barrels collections.
