Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for a firearms suppressor adapted with blowout panels. In one example, the blowout panels may be configured to have a lower tolerance for pressure than the materials from which outer components of the suppressor are formed. During over pressure events of the suppressor, the blowout panels may rupture, thereby dissipating pressure in the suppressor.
Claims14
A suppressor, comprising:
- a housing comprising one or more blowout regions integrally formed in an inner surface of the housing, the one or more blowout regions comprising a characteristic not present in material of the housing surrounding the one or more blowout regions, and the one or more blowout regions configured to fail at a lower pressure threshold than a failure pressure threshold for the material surrounding the one or more blowout regions.
A suppressor, comprising:
- a housing comprising one or more first regions integrally formed in an inner surface of the housing, the one or more first regions comprising a physical property not present in material of the housing surrounding the one or more first regions, and the one or more first regions configured to fail at a lower pressure than a failure pressure for the material of the housing surrounding the one or more first regions.
