Abstract
A firearm suppressor has a tube and a baffle stack carried within the tube. A first stack portion has a first inner volume defined by a first inner wall having a first diameter. A second stack portion has a second inner volume defined by a second inner wall having a second diameter unequal to the first diameter, the second stack portion being located forward of the first tube portion. A first outer volume has a first radial thickness formed between the first inner wall and the tube, and a second outer volume has a second radial thickness formed between the second inner wall and the tube. Vents in at least one of the stack portions allow gases and particulates to flow between the inner and outer volumes.
Claims20
A firearm suppressor, comprising:
- a tube;
- and
- a baffle stack carried within the tube, the stack comprising:
- a first stack portion with a first inner volume defined by a first inner wall having a first diameter, the first stack portion being located within a first tube portion;
- and
- a second stack portion with a second inner volume defined by a second inner wall having a second diameter unequal to the first diameter, the second stack portion being located within a second tube portion forward of the first tube portion;
- wherein a first outer volume having a first radial thickness is formed between the first inner wall and the tube, and a second outer volume having a second radial thickness is formed between the second inner wall and the tube.
A firearm suppressor, comprising:
- a first baffle-stack portion with a first inner volume defined by a first inner wall having a first diameter;
- and
- a second baffle-stack portion with a second inner volume defined by a second inner wall having a second diameter unequal to the first diameter the second stack portion being located forward of the first stack portion;
- wherein each baffle-stack portion has an outer wall, the outer walls forming a tube;
- and
- wherein a first outer volume having a first radial thickness is formed between the first inner wall and the tube, and a second outer volume having a second radial thickness is formed between the second inner wall and the tube.
A method of suppressing a report of a firearm, the method comprising:
- (a) providing a baffle stack, the stack comprising at least two stack portions, each stack portion having an inner volume defined by an inner wall having a diameter, the inner walls of the stack portions having unequal diameters, one of the stack portions being located forward of the other of the stack portions;
- (b) locating the baffle stack within a tube, a first outer volume having a first radial thickness being formed between one of the inner walls and the tube, and a second outer volume having a second radial thickness being formed between the other of the inner walls and the tube;
- and
- (c) when gases and particulates are discharged from a firearm into the baffle stack, venting the gases and the particulates between at least one of the inner volumes and at least one of the outer volumes.
