The firearm may include a barrel, a bore, and a muzzle end. The suppressor assembly may include a gas block mount positioned about the barrel. The suppressor assembly also may include an outer tube comprising a first end and a second end. The first end of the outer tube may be configured to be attached to the gas block mount, and the second end of the outer tube may be configured to extend beyond the muzzle end of the firearm. Moreover, the suppressor assembly may include a baffle comprising a first end and a second end. The second end of the baffle may be configured to be attached to and positioned within the second end of the outer tube. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A suppressor assembly for a firearm, the firearm having a barrel, a bore, and a muzzle end, the suppressor assembly comprising: a gas block mount positioned about the barrel; an outer tube comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the outer tube is configured to be attached to the gas block mount, and wherein the second end of the outer tube is configured to extend beyond the muzzle end of the firearm; and a baffle comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the second end of the baffle is configured to be attached to and positioned within the second end of the outer tube. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The suppressor assembly of claim 1, further comprising a chamber formed at least partially between the barrel of the firearm and the outer tube. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The suppressor assembly of claim 1, wherein the first end of the baffle is spaced apart from the muzzle end of the firearm. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The suppressor assembly of claim 1, further comprising: internal threads disposed within the first end of the outer tube; and external threads disposed on the gas block mount, wherein the internal threads within the first end of the outer tube correspond to the external threads on the gas block mount, and wherein the first end of the outer tube is configured to be screwed onto the gas block mount. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The suppressor assembly of claim 1, wherein the outer tube comprises an increased thickness at the first end of the outer tube about the gas block mount. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The suppressor assembly of claim 1, further comprising: internal threads disposed within the second end of the outer tube; and external threads disposed on the second end of the baffle, wherein the internal threads within the second end of the outer tube correspond to the external threads on the second end of the baffle, and wherein the second end of the baffle is configured to be screwed into the second end of the outer tube. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The suppressor assembly of claim 1, wherein the outer tube comprises an increased thickness at the second end of the outer tube about the baffle. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The suppressor assembly of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of dimples disposed on an outer surface of the second end of the outer tube. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The suppressor assembly of claim 1, further comprising a baffle bore disposed between the first end of the baffle and the second end of the baffle, wherein the baffle bore is configured to receive a projectile therethrough. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The suppressor assembly of claim 9, wherein the baffle bore comprises an outward taper at the second end of the baffle, and wherein the outward taper at the second end of the baffle defines a conical frustum-shaped exit. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The suppressor assembly of claim 1, wherein the first end of the baffle comprises an inward taper towards the muzzle end of the firearm. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The suppressor assembly of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of angled ports positioned within the baffle. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The suppressor assembly of claim 12, wherein the plurality of angled ports are arranged circumferentially about the baffle in a series of rows. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The suppressor assembly of claim 13, wherein each row of the angled ports forms a baffle chamber therein. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The suppressor assembly of claim 13, further comprising a rib disposed between and about each row of the plurality of angled ports. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The suppressor assembly of claim 15, wherein an outer diameter of each rib corresponds to an inner diameter of the outer tube. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The suppressor assembly of claim 15, wherein a clearance exists between each of the ribs and the outer tube. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The suppressor assembly of claim 15, wherein an outer surface of the baffle comprises a concave recess between each of the ribs. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The suppressor assembly of claim 18, wherein the concave recess between the adjacent ribs and the outer tube collectively define one or more outer baffle chambers therebetween. ### Claim 20 (depends on 1) The suppressor assembly of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of circumferentially arranged holes disposed on a front surface of the baffle, wherein the plurality of circumferentially arranged holes are configured to cooperate with a tool for the attachment of the baffle to the outer tube. ### Claim 21 A method for assembling a suppressor assembly on a firearm, the firearm having a barrel, a bore, and a muzzle end, the method comprising: positioning a gas block mount about the barrel; attaching an outer tube to the gas block mount, wherein the outer tube comprises a first end and a second end, and wherein the first end of the outer tube is configured to be attached to the gas block mount; positioning a baffle within the second end of the outer tube, wherein the baffle comprises a first end and a second end; and attaching the second end of the baffle to the second end of the outer tube. ### Claim 22 A baffle, comprising: a first end and a second end extending between a longitudinal axis, wherein the first end comprises an entry end and the second end comprises an exit end; a bore disposed between the first end and the second end, wherein the bore extends through the longitudinal axis and is configured to receive a projectile therethrough; an outward taper at the second end of the bore, wherein the outward taper at the second end of the bore defines a conical frustum-shaped projectile exit; an inward taper towards the muzzle end of the firearm at the first end of the baffle; a plurality of angled ports positioned within the baffle, where the plurality of angled ports extend outward from the bore, and wherein the plurality of angled ports are arranged circumferentially about the baffle in a series of rows; a rib disposed between and about each row of the plurality of angled ports, wherein an outer diameter of each rib corresponds to or provides a clearance between an inner diameter of the outer tube, and wherein an outer surface of the baffle comprises a concave recess between each of the ribs; and a plurality of circumferentially arranged holes disposed on a front surface of the baffle, wherein the plurality of circumferentially arranged holes are configured to cooperate with a tool for the attachment of the baffle to the outer tube. ### Claim 23 An outer tube for a suppressor assembly, the outer tube comprising: a first end and a second end defining a length therebetween;
