Abstract:
Described herein is a firearm barrel operable to manage gas pressure behind a projectile traveling through the firearm barrel. The design of the firearm barrel enables a firearm to be discharged at a low-report by managing gas pressure behind a bullet while the bullet is under compression from the barrel. In embodiments, the firearm barrel includes an inner barrel having at least one opening in its surface and an outer tube surrounding the inner barrel, such that a chamber is created between the inner barrel and outer tube, the chamber being operable to temporarily retain gases that are generated as a result of discharging a firearm. The gases may pass from the barrel into the chamber through the at least one opening, and the gases may be temporarily retained within the chamber before escaping back through the at least one opening and out of the barrel behind a discharged projectile.

Claim (Index 14):
A method of making a firearm barrel, the method comprising the steps of:\n forming an inner barrel having a first diameter; punching at least one opening through the surface of the inner barrel; forming an outer tube surrounding the inner barrel, wherein the outer tube has a second diameter; wherein the first diameter and second diameter are so dimensioned as to create a space between the outer surface of the inner barrel and the inner surface of the outer tube.
