Suppressor

Abstract

The present invention includes a firearm suppressor with a baffle network that creates internal turbulence by creating surfaces that redirect outbound fluid into inbound fluid to control the expansion of fluid within the suppressor.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A firearm suppressor comprising:
 a barrel port adapted to affix to a firearm barrel; and   an external baffle network, adjacent to said barrel port and surrounding a projectile passage directed from said barrel port, defining a series of pathway apertures having: (i) a external baffle proximal surface defining a pathway aperture portion angled to both diverge from said projectile pathway to an external baffle maxima and extend along said projectile pathway; and (ii) and an external baffle distal surface defining a pathway aperture portion from said external baffle maxima returning to said projectile pathway and in opposition to said projectile pathway.   
     
     
         2 . The suppressor of  claim 1  comprising at least two distinct pathway aperture series. 
     
     
         3 . The suppressor of  claim 2  wherein said distinct pathway aperture series are approximately radially equidistant. 
     
     
         4 . The suppressor of  claim 3  comprising at least three distinct pathway aperture series. 
     
     
         5 . The suppressor of  claim 2  wherein said at least two distinct pathway aperture series are sequentially staggered. 
     
     
         6 . A firearm suppressor comprising:
 a port adapted to affix to a firearm barrel, a base and a sleeve that form a closed, continuous pathway aperture;   a base, adjacent to said barrel port and surrounding a projectile passage directed from said barrel port from an inlet to an outlet, comprising a gate, proximate to said inlet, leading from said passage to an internal baffle network defining an internal baffle proximal surface obliquely angled against said pathway and an internal baffle distal surface angled into said pathway and terminating in a return, proximate to said outlet, leading from said internal baffle network to said passage; and   a sleeve, circumscribing said base, comprising an external baffle network, intercalated within said internal baffle network, defining an external baffle proximal surface and an external baffle distal surface.   
     
     
         7 . The suppressor of  claim 6  wherein said internal baffle proximal surface includes an angle greater than 90 degrees oriented against said passage. 
     
     
         8 . The suppressor of  claim 6  wherein said internal baffle distal surface length is greater than said internal baffle proximal surface length. 
     
     
         9 . The suppressor of  claim 6  wherein said internal baffle proximal distal length is greater than ½ of said internal baffle proximal surface length. 
     
     
         10 . The suppressor of  claim 6  wherein said external baffle proximal surface is obliquely angled into said pathway oriented with said passage. 
     
     
         11 . The suppressor of  claim 9  wherein said external baffle distal surface is obliquely angled into said pathway oriented with said passage. 
     
     
         12 . A firearm suppressor comprising:
 a port adapted to affix to a firearm barrel, a base and a sleeve that form a closed, continuous pathway aperture;   said base, adjacent to said barrel port and surrounding a projectile passage directed from said barrel port from an inlet to an outlet, comprising a gate, proximate to said inlet, leading from said passage to an internal baffle network defining an internal baffle proximal surface obliquely angled against said pathway and an internal baffle distal surface angled into said pathway and terminating in a return, proximate to said outlet, leading from said internal baffle network to said passage; and   said sleeve, circumscribing said base, comprising an external baffle network, intercalated within said internal baffle network, defining an external baffle proximal surface obliquely angled into said pathway and an external baffle distal surface obliquely angled into said pathway.   
     
     
         13 . The suppressor of  claim 12  wherein said internal baffle proximal surface includes an angle greater than 90 degrees. 
     
     
         14 . The suppressor of  claim 12  wherein said internal baffle distal surface length is greater than said internal baffle proximal surface length. 
     
     
         15 . The suppressor of  claim 12  wherein said internal baffle distal surface length is greater than ½ of said internal proximal distal surface length. 
     
     
         16 . The suppressor of  claim 12  wherein said external baffle proximal surface is obliquely angled into said pathway oriented with said passage. 
     
     
         17 . The suppressor of  claim 15  wherein said external baffle distal surface is obliquely angled into said pathway oriented with said passage.
