The FAL combination device, otherwise known as a flash-hider can do lots of things.

First, it's a flash-hider.
Second, it's something of a muzzle brake.
Third, it's a bayonet lug.
Fourth, it's a mount for launching 22mm NATO rifle grenades.
Fifth, it's threaded to accept a blank adapter.
As shipped from DSA, this fourth feature is slightly disabled. It's missing a small ring of wire that runs in a small groove at the rear of the device. This wire is a spring that keeps the rifle grenade from slipping off the muzzle or sliding too far down the barrel.
A generous soul on FALFiles had several to spare and sent me one for the small price of two stamps.

Impressive, no?
All I need now is a couple of training rifle grenades and some ballistite cartridges to launch them! The grenades can be had for about $50, the launching rounds are few and far between.
