Firearm suppressors having a plurality of tubes having helical pathways for receiving gas therethrough

Abstract

A firearm suppressor may include a tubular body defining an interior space and a plurality of inlet ports in fluid communication with the interior space, a plurality of baffles disposed within the interior space, a plurality of tubes disposed along an exterior of the tubular body, and a plurality of helical members. Each of the baffles may define a central opening disposed along a longitudinal axis of the tubular body and configured to allow a projectile to pass therethrough, and a plurality of secondary openings spaced apart from the longitudinal axis and configured to allow gas to pass therethrough. Each of the tubes may define a passage extending from a respective inlet port and configured to allow gas to pass therethrough. Each of the helical members may be disposed within the passage of a respective tube and define a helical pathway configured to allow gas to pass therethrough.
