Flash question

Does it matter which flash suppressor I have if I use a pvs14 while shooting?
will muzzle flash wash out the image and is it detrimental to the health of my tube?
the 2 rifles i would be using both have a standard A2 bird cage.
What if use it helmet mounted shooting a .270? Its got a standard target crown. Will that flash be too much?
Thanks in advance.

The A2 is used every night by most of our military. your pinnacle tube (if that's what you go with as most the rest of us have) would likely cut out for a split second if anything.. bright light will cut down on the life of your tube but in reality it would be no worse than other light sources you may run into on some occasions - unless your bunk firing all night
. They can take more than you think & keep running - but that's no license to abuse the safeguards & disregard common sense (as I do most of the time
) A vortex, blackout, or even a decent can if you have the money will give peace of mind at a small cost - the can, well a bit more costly there.... your larger caliber rifle, have it threaded & add a vortex or better flash suppressor - that's a sure way to tame its flash - not perfect but it works. just my advice - take it with a grain of salt....

Careful choice of ammo will be just as important as the type of flash suppressor.
