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 19):
The method of  claim 18 , wherein the at least one opening punched through the surface of the inner barrel is dimensioned such that:\n gases emitted during the discharge of a firearm are forced through the at least one opening in the surface of the inner barrel into the void after a projectile is discharged from a chamber associated with the firearm and into the inner barrel; the gases that are forced into the void are retained within the void until the projectile exits the inner barrel; and when the projectile exits the inner barrel, the gases that are retained within the void are released through the at least one opening in the surface of the inner barrel into the inner barrel.
