Abstract
The invention is a suppression device to eliminate flash, noise and smoke, collectively “gas” which is created by explosion of a high-powered rifle hammer striking a bullet, from escaping down a barrel of the rifle so as to expose a shooter's location. The device is physically located nearest to the receiver of the rifle. It operates by machine cutting the barrel to form a diverter which directs the gas into a chamber. Inside the chamber are five concentrically and longitudinal arrayed tubes. The gas travels a longer path than the bullet by passing through the tubes, echoing back and forth until dissipation of the gas.
Claims2
A flash, noise and smoke suppression device comprising:
- a rifle barrel which has a machined cut at an end nearest to a receiver of a high-powered rifle, which serves as a diverter;
- where the device is essentially cylindrical in shape and contains a chamber, with an inner side, into which the rifle barrel is inserted so that the chamber slides down as close as possible to the receiver and is then screwed into place;
- where the chamber of the suppressor has two opposing ends, within which are five concentrically and longitudinally arrayed tubes;
- where there are at least three tubes of the five tubes held in place by a first plug which is connected to an end of the chamber located nearest to the receiver with a slight gap at the opposing end that is located nearest to a muzzle of the rifle barrel, and at least two tubes of the five tubes held in place by a second plug which is at an end of the chamber located nearest to the muzzle with a slight gap at the opposing end that is located nearest to the receiver;
- and
- where the first and second plugs of the suppressor are machined with threads that can be reversely threaded onto threads cut into the rifle barrel to affix the suppression device's chamber onto the barrel so that when a bullet is fired any flash, noise and smoke behind the bullet will be diverted into the chamber.
