So I'm working on a bit of an oldschool style of assault rifle, because of the look of the sight and forward assist, as well as the short length, I figured this would probably be some sort of old CAR-15 variant (early predecessor to the modern M4A1), and I'm wondering which style I should go for, the one with the distinct looking 'Moderator' on the muzzle (the long one), or just a really short one with a regular flash-hider?

Holding my own airsoft one, the Moderator doesn't really make itself very visible from this perspective so as far as consistency goes, I could go for either. The muzzleflash I use is pretty big, so a shorter gun would be more 'realistic' in that sense, but on the other hand, Doom.

I guess, which would be more visually interesting?
