Suppressor For Firearm

Abstract

A firearm noise and recoil suppressor having a plurality of ported channels in fluid contact with the barrel to redirect some of the firing gasses for the purpose of distributing the firing propellant gasses out the discharge end of the firearm. The channels redirect part of the propellent gasses to exit the barrel at times other than when the main projectile discharge occurs thus reducing peak pressure, thus reducing noise and recoil. The channels are contained within the tubular device, being in fluid communication with the projectile passageway through ports that regulate the amount of gas flow. The channels direct gasses to exit the device through apertures at the projectile exit end of the device in at an angle of between parallel to the projectile to up to perpendicularly.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An suppressor for connection to a distal end of a muzzle of a weapon, the device comprising:
 a main body having a distal end, a proximal end for connection to, or integration into, the muzzle, a longitudinal projectile passageway extending through the main body from the proximal end to the distal end so that the passageway is an aperture for allowing a weapon projectile to exit from muzzle through the main body; and   a plurality of smaller channels in the main body comprising conduits extending from, and in fluid communication with the projectile passageway, to the outer surface of the main body at the distal end;   wherein the additional channels of said main body are drilled or cast to redirect some discharge gasses through additional apertures at the distal end of the device in a manner that disperses the discharge pressure wave of said weapon over a greater time than normal.   
     
     
         2 . An accessory as in  claim 1 , wherein said plural channels connect to the projectile passage through open ports of equal or smaller diameter than that of the channel. 
     
     
         3 . An accessory as in  claim 1 , wherein said plural ports may connect to the projectile passageway at different locations relative to each other. 
     
     
         4 . An accessory as in  claim 1 , wherein said plural channels may traverse the device in differentiable length paths relative to each other. 
     
     
         5 . An accessory as in  claim 1 , wherein each aperture extends generally forward from said projectile passageway at an angle to said longitudinal axis, said angle being in the range of 0-85 degrees. 
     
     
         6 . An accessory as in  claim 1 , wherein the said exhaust apertures are capable of being oriented for directing gasses from discharge of the weapon generally upward relative to the muzzle so that the muzzle is forced downward. 
     
     
         7 . An accessory as in  claim 1 , wherein the said exhaust apertures are capable of being oriented for directing gasses from discharge of the weapon in a generally circular motion, radially relative to the axis of the muzzle so that the muzzle is forced to rotate in a direction opposite that of the radial forces of the discharge. 
     
     
         8 . An accessory as in  claim 1 , wherein a method of manufacture would be formed by drilling all ports, channels and apertures from an external direction to the center of the invention, then plugging by welding or use of plugs, the resulting external passage holes, with the exception of the ports and apertures. 
     
     
         9 . An accessory to  claim 1 , wherein a method of manufacture would by lost wax casting. 
     
     
         10 . An suppressor for connection to a distal end of a muzzle of a weapon, the device comprising:
 a main body having a distal end, a proximal end for connection to, or integration into, the muzzle, a longitudinal projectile passageway extending through the main body from the proximal end to the distal end so that the passageway is an aperture for allowing a weapon projectile to exit from muzzle through the main body; and   a plurality of smaller channels in the main body comprising conduits extending from, and in fluid communication with the projectile passageway, to the outer surface of the main body at the distal end;   wherein the additional channels of said main body are formed by a combination of two pieces, an internal tube or barrel and an encasement sleeve, to redirect some discharge gasses through additional apertures at the distal end of the device in a manner that disperses the discharge pressure wave of said weapon over a greater time than normal.   
     
     
         11 . An accessory as in  claim 10 , wherein said plural channels connect to the projectile passage through open ports of equal or smaller diameter than that of the channel. 
     
     
         12 . An accessory as in  claim 10 , wherein said plural ports may connect to the projectile passageway at different locations relative to each other. 
     
     
         13 . An accessory as in  claim 10 , wherein said plural channels may traverse the device in differentiable length paths relative to each other. 
     
     
         14 . An accessory as in  claim 10 , wherein each aperture extends generally forward from said projectile passageway at an angle to said longitudinal axis, said angle being in the range of 0-85 degrees. 
     
     
         15 . An accessory as in  claim 10 , wherein the said exhaust apertures are capable of being oriented for directing gasses from discharge of the weapon generally upward relative to the muzzle so that the muzzle is forced downward. 
     
     
         16 . An accessory as in  claim 10 , wherein the said exhaust apertures are capable of being oriented for directing gasses from discharge of the weapon in a generally circular motion relative to the axis of the muzzle so that the muzzle is forced to rotate in a direction opposite that of the radial forces of the discharge. 
     
     
         17 . An accessory as in  claim 10 , wherein a method of manufacture would be by machining all ports, channels and apertures in the internal portion, or barrel. Then the sleeves is attached to encase the inner portion, or barrel, wherein the internal diameter of the sleeve is equal to the exterior diameter of the inner portion or barrel. The sleeve is attached to the inner portion, or barrel, by means of welding or treading.
