Abstract:
The present invention describes a conically shaped baffle for use in a firearm suppressor or silencer wherein the gas inlet end of the baffle is angled downward and oblong shaped, which not only assist in allowing a higher flow of gas to pass through the inlet, but also directs the gas downward and away from the bore.

Claim (Index 3):
A method for suppressing noise caused by a firearm comprising the steps of:\n passing propulsion gas through an inlet opening of at least one baffle within the suppressor having a structure defined by: a hollow tubular body with an interior and exterior surface of substantially cylindrical cross section; ends that define a gas inlet and a gas outlet; the diameter of the gas inlet end of the baffle is smaller than the diameter of the gas outlet end; the plane of the inlet end of the baffle has a downward angle; and the opening of the inlet end remains substantially circular but the three-dimensional geometry of the opening created by the downward angle leaves the opening substantially oblong.
