Suppressor For Firearm

Abstract

A firearm noise and recoil suppressor having a plurality of ported channels in fluid contact with the barrel to redirect some of the firing gasses for the purpose of distributing the firing propellant gasses out the discharge end of the firearm. The channels redirect part of the propellent gasses to exit the barrel at times other than when the main projectile discharge occurs thus reducing peak pressure, thus reducing noise and recoil. The channels are contained within the tubular device, being in fluid communication with the projectile passageway through ports that regulate the amount of gas flow. The channels direct gasses to exit the device through apertures at the projectile exit end of the device in at an angle of between parallel to the projectile to up to perpendicularly.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to firearm noise and recoil suppressors. When a firearm is fired, a large sharp pressure front is produced that is the dominate cause of noise and recoil. The invention is a device that attaches to the barrel of a firearm, with the purpose of reducing muzzle noise and recoil by venting gasses through different size ports and different length channels so that the gasses exit the muzzle at different time intervals, so as to reduce the peak muzzle pressure.[0003]2. Related Art[0004]Conventional firearm suppressors are typically generally tubular cylinders, with an inner and an outer wall, with several expansion chambers or baffles between the walls. This assembly is attached to a firearm barrel. Upon discharge of the weapon some of the gasses flow through holes in the inner wall of the suppressor, then through the expansion chambers or baffles, therefore, allow the exhaust gas to expand inside...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0005]When a conventional firearm is fired, cartridge propellent is ignited and then converts to an expanding gas that propels the projectile through the barrel. When the projectile exits the barrel, the largest amount of this gas exits the barrel immediately afterward, causing a large sharp pressure wave. In typical cases, this wave is the dominant contribution to noise and recoil. Distributing this pressure wave over a longer time will reduce the peak pressure, thus suppressing noise and distributing recoil. This can be achieved by bypassing some of the exhaust ga
