In spite of all the hype, romance, and BS, the main reason for a flash hider is to keep the shooter from being blinded by his own rifle, not to conceal the firer's position.

James K is 100% correct on this topic.
The main purpose of a flash hider to reduce muzzle flash from a shooter's perspective to help preserve one's night vision. The A2 flash hider also has a secondary purpose of reducing the amount of dust being kicked up when shooting prone (hence the solid bottom of the flash hider).
