Abstract
Methods and apparatus for flash suppression according to various aspects of the present technology may comprise a body that is configured to be selectively coupled to a firearm. The body may be formed with curved and or arcing protrusions extending longitudinally along the body. Each protrusion is separated from another protrusion by a gap configured to dissipate gases and unburned materials exiting the barrel of the firearm.
Claims26
A flash suppressor for a barrel of a firearm, comprising:
- a body, including:
- a proximal end adapted for attachment to the barrel of the firearm;
- a distal end including an exit chamber;
- and
- an axial pathway defined through the body member connecting the proximal end to the exit chamber,
- wherein the exit chamber includes:
- a plurality of flutes, wherein the flutes are curved transverse to the axial passageway as the flutes extend from the axial passageway to the distal end;
- and
- a chamber pathway extending from the axial pathway to the distal end of the body.
6 more elements
A flash suppressor for a barrel of a firearm, comprising:
- a body, comprising:
- a first end portion configured to couple to the barrel of the firearm;
- a second end portion;
- and
- an axial interior pathway disposed along an interior portion of the body between the first and second end portions, wherein the axial pathway is configured to align with the barrel of the firearm;
- and
- a plurality of flutes arranged around a longitudinal axis of the body, wherein:
- the plurality of flutes:
- extend longitudinally along the body between the axial pathway and the second end portion;
- and
- form a chamber pathway about the longitudinal axis of the body, wherein the chamber pathway aligned with the axial pathway;
- and
- at least a portion of each flute is separated from another flute by a channel describing an arc-shaped opening extending at least part way between the first end portion and the second end portion.
10 more elements
A flash suppressor for a barrel of a firearm, comprising:
- a body including a plurality of protrusions extending along and arranged around a longitudinal axis of the body, wherein:
- the plurality of protrusions forms a chamber pathway about the longitudinal axis of the body configured to align with a center bore of the barrel;
- and
- at least a portion of each protrusion is separated from another protrusion by a channel describing an are-shaped opening extending at least part way along the body.
