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

The patent describes a device that reduces noise and recoil in firearms by distributing the pressure wave over a longer time period. The device has multiple ports and channels that redirect some of the exhaust gas and allow it to exit at different times, thus reducing peak pressure and noise. The device can be integrated into existing firearms to minimize size and provide optimal performance. The size and shape of the ports and channels can be adjusted to fine-tune the forces applied to the muzzle and control noise and recoil directed back to the shooter. Overall, this device helps to create a more comfortable and reliable firearm for hunters and sportsmen.

Problems solved by technology

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.
