  • Patent number: 6848538
    Abstract: An apparatus for suppressing muzzle pop and/or crack in a Paintball Marker, (also known as a Paintball gun), or other compressed gas gun with an outer shell which connects to a proximal end cap with centered opening to be secured to a muzzle of a Paintball marker by an attachment piece, and a distal end cap with an centered exit opening. An internal structure that is centered along the longitudinal firing axis of the apparatus, between the proximal end cap and distal end cap, and being the bore for the proximal end opening for accepting the paintball marker barrel, and the distal exit opening in the center of the distal end cap for the exiting Paintball. The attachment piece and internal structure will accept a wide range of production paintball barrel diameters, as well as be self centering and aligning along the longitudinal firing axis of the apparatus.
