Abstract:
A conduit ( 5 ) with a bullet passage ( 13, 17 ) extends forward from a gun muzzle ( 7 ). Inner and outer concentric chambers ( 25, 29 ) surround the conduit and a forward portion of the barrel ( 3 ). A gas path (P 2,  P 3,  P 4 ) is provided through sides of the conduit into the inner chamber, thence to the outer chamber, and then exits to the atmosphere at the front of the outer chamber. Each chamber has longitudinal lines of sight between front and back sound reflectors (R 1 -R 2,  R 3 -R 4 ), and no longitudinal line of sight from the back reflector (R 2,  R 4 ) to the atmosphere. The gas path through the suppressor is at least 6 times less flow-restrictive than the gas path through the bullet exit ( 17 ) or back into the barrel bore ( 4 ), minimizing backpressure. The gas path (P 3 ) between the inner and outer chambers is through apertures ( 33 ) limited to a lengthwise middle portion of an inner shell ( 21 ) that divides the chambers ( 25, 29 ).

Claim (Index 13):
The suppressor of  claim 11 , wherein the sound reflector at the front end of the outer chamber comprises a flow aperture area at least as great as the flow aperture area of the third gas path.
