Abstract:
First round shot noise and flash caused by combustion of oxygen contained in the air residing in a firearm sound suppresser can be reduced by providing a valve that communicates with the baffled interior space of the suppressor, and connecting a source of non-flammable gas such as CO 2  to the valve in order to inject the gas into the suppressor. The non-flammable gas displaces the air in the suppressor, removing the oxygen available for combustion when the first shot is fired.

Claim (Index 17):
The apparatus of  claim 1  where the suppressor has,\n a suppressor body having a suppressor first end and a suppressor second end and enclosing the baffled interior space, which is configured to control expansion of muzzle gases while not obstructing passage of a bullet through said baffled interior space, the bullet exiting through a suppressor exit in the suppressor second end, and \n a suppressor mounting structure provided in the suppressor first end and configured to removably secure onto a barrel mounting structure of a firearm, \n wherein the apparatus further comprises:\n a mount body having a mount first end and a mount second end, said mount first end having a first end mounting structure configured to removably secure onto the barrel mounting structure of the firearm to which the sound suppressor is to be mounted, and said mount second end having a second end mounting structure configured to removably secure to said suppressor mounting structure,\n said mount body having a mount interior space configured to avoid obstructing passage of a bullet therethrough and communicating with the baffled interior space of the sound suppressor when said suppressor mounting structure and said second end mounting structure are secured together; and \n \n further wherein said valve has a valve first end and a valve second end, said valve first end being connectable to the source of compressed gas and said valve second end communicating with said mount interior space, said valve, when opened, allowing passage of gas from said valve first end into said mount interior space via said valve second end.
