Claim Text:
1. A thermal mirage reducing device for firearms, comprising: a heat control shell oriented along a horizontal longitudinal axis corresponding to a bore line of a firearm, wherein a cross-sectional profile of the heat control shell taken perpendicular to the longitudinal axis is asymmetrical about a vertical plane dividing the heat control shell along the longitudinal axis, wherein the cross-sectional profile comprises a heat-directing portion protruding on one side of the vertical plane and a core portion encompassing the longitudinal axis, wherein the heat-directing portion extends to a high point that is vertically higher than any other point in the cross-sectional profile and is laterally offset from the vertical plane, and wherein the cross-sectional profile does not intersect a line of sight of the firearm located parallel to the bore line and vertically above the cross-sectional profile.
