  • Patent number: 9400151
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a dynamic suppression mechanism for a semi-automatic firearm. An axial mass is positioned adjacent to multiple dynamic volume chambers, which are aligned within a housing. An aperture is provided within the mass and aligned chambers to accommodate the projectile. As the projectile travels through the aperture across the length of the housing, each of the chambers is subject to a dynamic expansion and contraction, with the dynamic volume change absorbing byproduct of the traveling projectile.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8939057
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a dynamic suppression mechanism for a firearm. Multiple chambers are aligned within a housing, with adjacently positioned chambers separated by a partition. A central aperture is provided within the partition(s) to accommodate the projectile and form part of the projectile path, and multiple relief ports are annularly arranged around the central aperture. As the projectile travels through the path and through the length of the housing, the relief ports use gas byproduct released from the projectile as an elastic medium to muffle concussive forces and mitigate flash as the projectile is released from the body.

  • Patent number: 8857306
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to an inertial damping apparatus in communication with a dynamic suppression mechanism for a firearm. The apparatus is in communication with both a muzzle of a projectile release device and with a suppressor. The apparatus dynamically extends between different states of compression. The apparatus is comprised of a body and an axial sleeve, with the sleeve functioning to guide movement of the body and to hold a first end of axially variable material in position when subject to compression.
