Claim 15:
16. A suppressor comprising:
a baffle stack with a cylindrical wall around an inner volume and extending along a central axis, the baffle stack including a plurality of baffle structures connected to the cylindrical wall and tapering rearwardly to a central opening, wherein at least some of the baffle structures define a vent opening;
an outer housing around the baffle stack, the outer housing having an inner surface spaced from and confronting the cylindrical wall, wherein the suppressor defines an outer volume between the cylindrical wall of the baffle stack and the outer housing;
flow-directing features in the outer volume;
a diffusor cone in a proximal end portion of the suppressor, the diffusor cone tapering in a distal direction between the outer housing and the baffle stack and defining a plurality of openings;
a conduit wall extending between and connecting adjacent baffle structures of the plurality of baffle structures, wherein the conduit wall defines a gas flow pathway in a radially outer portion of the inner volume, the gas flow pathway passing around a proximal cone of the adjacent baffle structures and through the vent opening defined in a distal cone of the adjacent baffle structures; and
an end cap connected to a distal end of the outer housing, the end cap defining a central opening aligned with the central axis.
