Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a sound suppressor adapted to be operable with all manners of firearm, including autoloading firearms. In one example, a sound suppressor comprises a unitary single-piece body configured with centrally aligned baffle chambers circumferentially surrounded by exhaust gas chambers.

Abstract: A sound suppressor that may be coupled with a firearm, including an autoloading firearm. In at least one example, the sound suppressor may comprise an elongate tubular housing, a projectile entrance passage positioned at a rearward region of the elongate tubular housing, and a plurality of tubes positioned within the elongate tubular housing, where the plurality of tubes are spaced away from an interior surface of the elongate tubular housing. In one or more embodiments, the plurality of tubes may not contact an interior surface of the elongate tubular housing.

Abstract: A suppressor for a firearm includes a first gas expansion section of relatively large size sufficient to reduce the temperature and pressure of the gas expelled from a muzzle during discharge of the firearm to a level that avoids rapid degrading of structural members such as baffles in the suppressor that are downstream of the muzzle. The gas is channeled through multiple paths to distribute its energy more equally. Preferably, the suppressor is formed with a lightweight, thermally-conductive composite portion. The composite portion provides lightweight, bursting strength with good thermal conductivity and little contribution to vibrational instability of the muzzle to which it is attached. The composite portion may be of a carbon fiber, silicon, boron, or metallic base.
