Abstract

A suppressor having a body and a first connector half coupled to the body, wherein the first connector half includes a first component that includes at least one channel and a first surface; and wherein the body provides a second surface, wherein a gap between the first surface and the second surface defines at least one track; wherein the gun includes a second connector half comprising at least one protrusion, wherein the protrusion and channel have corresponding shapes that allow the protrusion to be inserted through the channel and into alignment with the track, wherein the first component may be rotated with respect to the protrusion and the body to bring the protrusion out of alignment with the channel so that the first and second surfaces clamp the protrusion to thereby secure the first connector half and second connector half with respect to each other.

Abstract

A suppressor for a firearm comprises an inner chamber through which a projectile fired by the firearm passes along a projectile pathway through the suppressor. The suppressor further comprises a first baffle, a plurality of apertures at an outer perimeter of the first baffle, and a plurality of inner baffles spaced apart along the length of the inner chamber between the first baffle and an exit end of the suppressor. The side wall of the first baffle is configured to direct a flow of gases received from the firearm through the plurality of apertures at the outer perimeter of the first baffle, and the side wall of each inner baffle is an asymmetric side wall.

Abstract

A suppressor for a firearm comprises an inner chamber providing a gases inner flow path and an outer chamber providing a parallel gases outer flow path. The suppressor is configured so that gases pressure between the inner chamber and the outer chamber is balanced along the length of the inner and outer chambers so that gases exhaust from the inner and outer chambers at substantially the same time.
