Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for a sound suppressor adapted to be coupled to a firearm and including one or more baffle sections positioned within a body of the suppressor. In one embodiment, a sound suppressor comprises a unitary single-piece body, where a baffle section is positioned within the body and encapsulated by the body, the body and the baffle section forming one or more chambers, where the body and baffle section are formed integrally.

Claims (26)

1. A sound suppressor, comprising:

a unitary single-piece body; and

a baffle section positioned within the body and encapsulated by the body, the body and the baffle section forming one or more chambers, where the baffle section is triangular and helical in shape.

2. The sound suppressor of claim 1 , wherein the unitary single-piece body includes helical sections extending towards a central axis of the unitary single-piece body.

3. The sound suppressor of claim 1 , further comprising interior projections integral with the body at a longitudinally rearward portion of the sound suppressor.

4. The sound suppressor of claim 3 , wherein a projectile entrance opening is at the longitudinally rearward portion of the sound suppressor, and wherein a projectile exit opening is at a longitudinally forward region of the sound suppressor.

5. The sound suppressor of claim 1 , wherein the baffle section includes a u-shaped groove that axially surrounds a projectile path.

6. A sound suppressor, comprising:

a tubular housing, an interior of the tubular housing including helical sections that extend towards a central axis of the tubular housing; and

a plurality of baffle sections positioned within the tubular housing and encapsulated by the tubular housing, the baffle sections triangular and helical in shape.

7. The sound suppressor of claim 6 , wherein a helix of the triangular helical shape of the baffle sections rotates about an axis defined by a path of a projectile to be fired through the sound suppressor.

8. The sound suppressor of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of baffle sections include a partially hollow interior section.

9. The sound suppressor of claim 8 , wherein the partially hollow interior section contains small u-shaped passages along an axis defined by a path of a projectile to be fired through the sound suppressor.

10. The sound suppressor of claim 6 , wherein the helical sections are integral with the tubular housing.

11. The sound suppressor of claim 10 , wherein the tubular housing and the plurality of baffle sections are a single-piece.

12. The sound suppressor of claim 6 , wherein the baffle sections are spaced along an interior of the tubular housing at constant distances.

13. The sound suppressor of claim 6 , wherein a rearward end of the sound suppressor includes an opening for attaching the sound suppressor to a firearm barrel.

14. A firearm system, comprising:

a firearm including a barrel with a muzzle portion; and

a suppressor coupled to the muzzle portion, the suppressor including a unitary single-piece body having a plurality of helical sections that extend towards a central axis of the body, and a plurality of baffle sections encapsulated and secured within the body without additional coupling elements between the interfacing surfaces of the baffle sections and an interior of the body, where the plurality of baffle sections are triangular and helical in shape.

15. The firearm system of claim 14 , wherein the helical sections are fluted.

16. The firearm system of claim 14 , wherein the body and the baffle sections form a plurality of expansion chambers.

17. The firearm system of claim 14 , wherein the suppressor is coupled to the muzzle portion at a rearward end of the suppressor, and wherein a projectile entrance is at a rearward end of the suppressor.

18. The firearm system of claim 14 , wherein a helix of the triangular helical shape of the baffle sections rotates about an axis defined by a path of a projectile to be fired through the sound suppressor.

19. The firearm system of claim 14 , wherein the body includes a plurality of projections at a rearward region of the body, and wherein the plurality of projections are formed integrally with the body.

20. The firearm system of claim 14 , wherein the plurality of baffle sections are connected to one another via junctions.
