Blank ammunition attachment

Abstract

A blank ammunition attachment comprising: a housing configured to be attached to a firearm; a first trap contained in the housing having a closed proximal end and a first trap bore at a distal end; a series of traps adjacent to the first trap carried by the housing wherein each trap in the series of traps includes a trap bore; and, a muzzle stop enclosing the housing at a housing distal end wherein the housing is configured to prevent a projectile from exiting the housing is the projectile enters the housing at a proximal end.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A blank ammunition attachment comprising:
 a housing configured to be attached to a firearm;   a first trap contained in the housing having a closed proximal end and a first trap bore at a distal end;   a series of traps adjacent to the first trap carried by the housing wherein each trap in the series of traps includes a trap bore; and,   a muzzle stop enclosing the housing at a housing distal end   wherein the housing is configured to prevent a projectile from exiting the housing is the projectile enters the housing at a proximal end.   
     
     
         2 . The blank ammunition attachment of  claim 1  including an adapter configured to be attached to the firearm and to be received in the housing to secure the housing to the firearm. 
     
     
         3 . The blank ammunition attachment of  claim 2  wherein the housing is configured to be removably attached to the firearm. 
     
     
         4 . The blank ammunition attachment of  claim 2  wherein a diameter of an adapter bore is smaller than a firearm bore of the firearm attached to the adapter. 
     
     
         5 . The blank ammunition attachment of  claim 2  wherein the adapter is a flash suppressor. 
     
     
         6 . The blank ammunition attachment of  claim 1  including an angled wall defined at as one trap in the series of traps. 
     
     
         7 . The blank ammunition attachment of  claim 1  wherein at as one trap in the series of traps is conical. 
     
     
         8 . The blank ammunition attachment of  claim 1  wherein the housing is configured to modify a center of gravity from inside a frame to outside the frame of the firearm when attached to the firearm. 
     
     
         9 . The blank ammunition attachment of  claim 1  wherein the housing, internal stop and muzzle stop are affixed. 
     
     
         10 . The blank ammunition attachment of  claim 1  including housing threads defined in the housing operatively associated with adapter threads included in the adapter wherein the adapter is configured to attached to a barrel of a firearm. 
     
     
         11 . The blank ammunition attachment of  claim 1  including a vent defined in the first stop allowing gas to be directed to the series of traps in the housing to simulate the feel of an actual suppressor. 
     
     
         12 . The blank ammunition attachment of  claim 1  wherein the first stop, muzzle stop, and housing are single unit. 
     
     
         13 . The blank ammunition attachment of  claim 1  wherein a diameter of the first trap bore is smaller than a firearm bore of the firearm attached to the attachment. 
     
     
         14 . The blank ammunition attachment of  claim 1  wherein the first trap bore is configured to remove a material from a projectile fired though the housing from the firearm. 
     
     
         15 . The blank ammunition attachment of  claim 1  wherein a diameter of a bore of a trap in the series of traps is smaller than a firearm bore of the firearm attached to the attachment. 
     
     
         16 . The blank ammunition attachment of  claim 1  wherein a trap in the series of traps includes a horizontal wall. 
     
     
         17 . A blank ammunition attachment comprising:
 an adapter configured to be attached to a barrel of a firearm;   a housing configured to receive the adapter and having an internal stop and a muzzle stop;   a cavity defined by the housing, the internal stop and the muzzle stop;   a series of traps disposed in the cavity wherein each trap in the series of traps includes a trap bore; and,   wherein the housing is configured to prevent a projectile from exiting the housing if a projectile enters the housing at a proximal end.   
     
     
         18 . The blank ammunition attachment of  claim 17  including a first trap contained in the housing having a closed proximal end and a first trap bore at a distal end. 
     
     
         19 . The blank ammunition attachment of  claim 17  wherein the adapter is a flash suppressor. 
     
     
         20 . A blank ammunition attachment comprising:
 a housing configured to receive an adapter and having an internal stop and a muzzle stop;   a cavity defined by the housing, the internal stop and the muzzle stop;   a series of traps disposed in the cavity wherein each trap in the series of traps includes a trap bore; and,   wherein the housing is configured to prevent a projectile from exiting the housing if a projectile enters the housing at a proximal end.
