Abstract

A sound suppressor, comprising an elongate tubular housing, a projectile entrance passage at a rearward portion of the elongate tubular housing, and a plurality of tubes positioned within the elongate tubular housing. In at least one example, the plurality of tubes may be offset from the elongate tubular housing and offset from a central axis of the elongate tubular housing.

Claims (42)

1. A suppressor, comprising:

an elongate housing;

one or more baffles within a baffle chamber;

a projectile entrance;

a projectile exit in an egress end of the elongate housing; and

a plurality of tubes positioned within the elongate housing, each of the plurality of tubes comprises a tube entrance on an end of the suppressor near the projectile entrance and a tube exit though a wall of the elongate housing on the egress end of the elongate housing,

wherein the suppressor is formed via 3D printing.

2. The suppressor of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of tubes are non-communicative with other tubes or the baffle chamber from the tube entrance to the tube exit.

3. The suppressor of claim 1 , wherein the suppressor is formed as a monolithic, unitary piece.

4. The suppressor of claim 1 , wherein sidewalls connect the egress end and an ingress end of the elongate housing, and

an air gap is positioned between the plurality of tubes and the sidewalls of the elongate housing.

5. The suppressor of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of tubes extend in a direction of a central axis of the suppressor, and

each of the plurality of tubes comprises a chimney portion that curves toward the central axis of the suppressor.

6. The suppressor of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of tubes comprise baffles within the tubes.

7. A suppressor, comprising:

an elongate housing;

one or more baffles within a baffle chamber;

a projectile entrance;

a projectile exit; and

a plurality of tubes, each of the plurality of tubes extends from a tube entrance on an end of the suppressor with the projectile entrance to a tube exit though an exterior wall of the elongate housing,

wherein the suppressor is formed via 3D printing.

8. The suppressor of claim 7 , wherein each of the plurality of tubes forms a separate gas passage from the tube entrance to an exterior of the suppressor.

9. The suppressor of claim 7 , wherein a chimney forms the tube entrance and a central axis of the chimney curves towards a central axis of the suppressor.

10. The suppressor of claim 7 , wherein sidewalls extend from an end of the suppressor comprising the projectile entrance to an end of the suppressor comprising the projectile exit, and

the plurality of tubes do not contact an interior surface of the sidewalls.

11. The suppressor of claim 10 , wherein an air gap is positioned between the plurality of tubes and the interior surface of the sidewalls.

12. The suppressor of claim 9 , wherein the chimney of each of the plurality of tubes is narrower than a remainder of the tube.

13. The suppressor of claim 7 , wherein the baffle chamber is interior to the plurality of tubes and the plurality of tubes are interior to the elongate housing.

14. The suppressor of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of tubes extend parallel to a central axis of the suppressor and are positioned around an interior surface of sidewalls of the elongate housing.

15. A firearm system, comprising:

a firearm; and

a suppressor comprising:

an elongate housing;

one or more baffles within a baffle chamber;

a projectile entrance;

a projectile exit; and

a plurality of tubes, each of the plurality of tubes forming a separate gas passage from a tube entrance at a first end of the suppressor to a tube exit though an exterior wall of the elongate housing at a second end of the suppressor,

wherein the suppressor is formed via 3D printing.

16. The firearm system of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of tubes include baffles within the tubes.

17. The firearm system of claim 15 , wherein a chimney forms one or more of the tube entrances and the one or more chimneys curve toward a central axis of the suppressor.

18. The firearm system of claim 15 , wherein the baffle chamber is a separate gas passage from the plurality of tubes.

19. The firearm system of claim 15 , wherein the one or more baffles within the baffle chamber are coupled to the plurality of tubes.
