Abstract
A firearm silencer includes a first cylindrical body section formed as a single unit having a first inner bore and a receiving end having a first axial bore, and a second cylindrical body section formed as a single unit having a second inner bore and a discharge end having a second axial bore. The first cylindrical body section is joined to the second cylindrical body section to form a cylindrical body. A plurality of baffles disposed within the cylindrical body, each baffle having a baffle axial bore.
Claims20
A firearm silencer, comprising:
- a first cylindrical body section formed as a single unit having a first inner bore and a receiving end having a first axial bore;
- a second cylindrical body section formed as a single unit having a second inner bore and a discharge end having a second axial bore, wherein the first cylindrical body section is joined to the second cylindrical body section to form a cylindrical body;
- and
- a plurality of baffles disposed within the cylindrical body, each baffle having a baffle axial bore.
A method of making a firearm silencer, comprising:
- forming a first cylindrical body section having a first inner bore from monolithic metallic stock;
- forming a second cylindrical body section having a second inner bore from monolithic metallic stock;
- inserting a plurality of baffles, each baffle having a baffle axial bore, within the first or second cylindrical body sections;
- and
- joining the first cylindrical body section with the second cylindrical body section to form a cylindrical body having a plurality of baffles disposed therein.
A method of silencing a firearm comprising:
- firing a projectile from a firearm through a silencer formed by joining a first cylindrical body section formed as a single unit having a first inner bore and a receiving end having a first axial bore with a second cylindrical body section formed as a single unit having a second inner bore and a discharge end having a second axial bore, wherein the first cylindrical body section is joined to the second cylindrical body section to form a cylindrical body, wherein the cylindrical body includes a plurality of baffles that are disposed within the cylindrical body, each baffle having a baffle axial bore, wherein the first axial bore, the second axial bore and one or more baffle axial bores of the plurality of baffles align to permit the projectile to enter the cylindrical body via the first axial bore, pass through one or more baffle axial bores of the plurality of baffles and exit the cylindrical body via the second axial bore, and wherein heated gasses and sonic energy emitted from the firearm along with the projectile are captured at least in part in the cylindrical body and dissipate therein.
