SUPPRESSOR DESIGN

1 . A suppressor comprising:

a muzzle endcap;

a muzzle end cap insulation disc;

an inner tube;

an outer tube, wherein an insulating material is located between the inner tube and the outer tube;

an inner blast baffle spacer;

a main baffle;

a main expansion chamber;

an inner tube;

an exit end cap insulation disc; and

an exit end cap.

2 . The suppressor of claim 1 , wherein the insulating material comprises fibrous silica.

3 . The suppressor of claim 1 , wherein the insulating material comprises a silica fiber reinforced microporous foam comprised of fumed silica, metal oxides, and reinforcement fibers.

4 . The suppress or claim 3 , wherein foam is covered by a fabric comprised of the same material as the foam, wherein the fabric has a greater proportion of reinforcement fibers than the foam.

5 . The suppressor of claim 1 , wherein the insulating material comprises a flexible fabric that covers a condensed powder, wherein both the flexible fabric and the condensed powder comprise alumina-magnesia-carbon flexible ceramic.

6 . The suppressor of claim 1 , wherein a vacuum is formed between the inner tube and the outer tube.

7 . The suppressor of claim 1 , wherein the suppressor has a diameter of substantially 2 inches.

8 . The suppressor of claim 1 , wherein the muzzle end cap insulation disc, the exit end cap insulation disc and the insulating material between the inner and outer tube comprise the same insulation.

9 . The suppressor of claim 1 , wherein the outer tube is covered by a carbon fiber wrap.

10 . A method for forming a suppressor comprising:

forming an outer tube of the suppressor which circumferentially surrounds an interior of the suppressor;

placing a muzzle endcap on a proximal end of the suppressor, which engages the outer tube;

placing a muzzle end cap insulation disc in the interior of the suppressor positioned distally from the muzzle end cap;

placing an exit end cap on a distal end of the suppressor, which engages the outer tube;

placing an exit end cap insulation disc in the interior of the suppressor proximal to the exit end cap;

placing an insulation tube in the interior of the suppressor adjacent to the outer tube;

placing an inner tube adjacent the insulation tube in the interior of the suppressor;

forming an inner blast baffle spacer toward the proximal end of the suppressor and a main baffle toward the distal end of the suppressor, all encircled by the inner tube;

forming a main expansion chamber toward the distal end of the suppressor, wherein the main expansion chamber contains the main baffle; and

forming a bullet path extending longitudinally through the suppressor and through a body of the main baffle.

11 . The suppressor of claim 10 , wherein insulating material for the muzzle end cap insulation disc, the exit end cap insulation disc, and the insulation tube comprises fibrous silica.

12 . The suppressor of claim 10 , wherein insulating material for the muzzle end cap insulation disc, the exit end cap insulation disc, and the insulation tube comprises a silica fiber reinforced microporous foam comprised of fumed silica, metal oxides, and reinforcement fibers.

13 . The suppress or claim 12 , wherein foam is covered by a fabric comprised of the same material as the foam, wherein the fabric has a greater proportion of reinforcement fibers than the foam.

14 . The suppressor of claim 10 , wherein insulating material for the muzzle end cap insulation disc, the exit end cap insulation disc, and the insulation tube comprises a flexible fabric that covers a condensed powder, wherein both the flexible fabric and the condensed powder comprise alumina-magnesia-carbon flexible ceramic.

15 . The suppressor of claim 10 , wherein a vacuum is formed between the inner tube and the outer tube.

16 . The suppressor of claim 10 , wherein the suppressor has a diameter of substantially 2 inches.

17 . The suppressor of claim 10 , further including covering the outer tube with a carbon fiber wrap.
