A suppression device for a rotary machine gun, the suppression device comprising:
- a body;
- and
- a core configured to fit inside the body, wherein the core includes:
- a plurality of suppression tubes symmetrically oriented around the core with one each of the plurality of suppression tubes corresponding to one of a plurality of barrels of the rotary machine gun, and
- a redirector at a distal end of the core and including an angled surface to direct propellant gas emitted through a central channel of the core radially outward.
A suppression device for a rotary machine gun, the suppression device comprising:
- a body;
- and
- a core configured to fit inside the body, wherein
- the core includes a plurality of suppression tubes symmetrically oriented around the core with one each of the plurality of suppression tubes corresponding to one of a plurality of barrels of the rotary machine gun,
- each of the plurality of suppression tubes includes a bore extending therethrough, and
- at least one of the plurality of suppression tubes includes an inner opening between its bore and a channel extending longitudinally through a central portion of the core to permit propellant gas to flow from the bore to the channel.
A suppression device for a rotary machine gun configured to direct propellant gas from each barrel of the rotary machine gun into a corresponding suppression tube to a longitudinal central channel of a core and through an exhaust opening of the suppression tubes into a gap between the core and a body and out though the suppression tubes and a porous structure of the body.
