Quoted: No, the 5C2 has a closed bottom port to reduce dust signature.
There is another Phantom that looks similar to the 5C2, but all the ports are open.

To clarify my question, I should have put these two links as well:
1) On Bushmaster's site, they have a picture of the 5C1 here-->
www.bushmaster.com/shopping/brakes/yhm-28-5c1.asp which shows that the 5C1 has 5 ports with the 6th one being 'closed' so that you don't kick up dirt as much. I actually do understand what they are talking about since I shoot in a sand pit. When shooting in a prone position with a barrel rest keeping it about 10" off the ground, you 'kick up' quite a bit of dust with a bare muzzle.

brouhaha, as you point out, the 5C2 has the 5 ports as well with the 6th one being 'closed' as in this EE add by

To clarify my original question: Is the only difference between a 5C1 and a 5C2 the fact that the 5C2 has sharp 'extensions' that extend beyond the flash-supressor? That's the only difference I see because the number of ports is the same and they both have a 'closed' 6th port. I agree that it looks more evil.
