3-D printed/manufactured suppressor element

A suppressor element, comprising:

• a body portion extending along a longitudinal axis, from a body portion rear end to a body portion front end, wherein one or more interior body portion side walls extend from said body portion rear end to a body portion bottom wall, wherein a body cavity is defined between said body portion rear end, said body portion side wall(s) and said body portion bottom wall, wherein a body portion exit aperture is formed through said body portion bottom wall, and wherein said body portion rear end includes an externally threaded portion;
• a shielding portion extending along a longitudinal axis, from an open shielding portion rear end to a shielding portion front end, wherein one or more interior shielding portion side walls extend from said open shielding portion rear end to a shielding portion bottom wall, wherein a shielding portion exit aperture is formed through said shielding portion bottom wall, wherein said shielding portion is positioned over at least a portion of said body portion, such that said body portion exit aperture is aligned with said shielding portion exit aperture, wherein a venting cavity is defined between at least a portion of said body portion and at least a portion of said shielding portion, and wherein said venting cavity extends from one or more venting cavity entry apertures formed proximate said open shielding portion rear end to said shielding portion exit aperture;
• one or more support elements extending, at spaced apart locations, between said body portion and said shielding portion;
• a plurality of additional support elements extending, at spaced apart, discrete locations, between said body portion front end and said shielding portion bottom wall, wherein said plurality of additional support elements are each integral to said body portion and integral to said shielding portion, wherein said body portion, said shielding portion, said one or more support elements, and said plurality of additional support elements are formed as an integral or monolithic unit, and wherein said plurality of additional support elements create an open configuration such that said venting cavity extends between said body portion front end and said to shielding portion bottom wall and said vent cavity extends around each of said plurality of additional support elements;
• one or more baffles formed within a portion of said body cavity;
• and
• a rear cap having an internally threaded portion, having internal threads formed so as to interact with at least a portion of said externally threaded portion of said body portion rear end, and wherein said rear cap includes a mounting aperture, wherein said mounting aperture allows said rear cap to be attached or coupled to a barrel or muzzle device of a firearm.

A suppressor element, comprising:

• a body portion having a body cavity defined therein and a body portion exit aperture formed through a body portion bottom wall;
• a shielding portion having a shielding portion exit aperture formed through a shielding portion bottom wall, wherein said shielding portion is positioned over at least a portion of said body portion, such that said body portion exit aperture is aligned with said shielding portion exit aperture, and wherein a venting cavity is defined between at least a portion of said body portion and at least a portion of said shielding portion;
• one or more support elements extending, at spaced apart locations, between said body portion and said shielding portion;
• a plurality of additional support elements extending, at spaced apart, discrete locations, between said body portion front end and said shielding portion bottom wall, wherein said plurality of additional support elements are each integral to said body portion and integral to said shielding portion, and wherein said plurality of additional support elements create an open configuration such that said venting cavity extends between said body portion front end and said shielding portion bottom wall and said venting cavity extends around each of said plurality of additional support elements;
• one or more baffles positioned within a portion of said body cavity;
• and
• a rear cap extending from said body portion, wherein said rear cap includes a mounting aperture that allows said rear cap to be attached or coupled to a barrel or muzzle device of a firearm, and wherein at least said body portion, said shielding portion, and said one or more support elements, and said plurality of additional support elements are formed as an integral or monolithic unit.
