US12332040 - Ordnance disarming device

An ordnance disarming device in the form of a percussion active, non-electric disrupter has an outer barrel and an inner barrel extending through the outer barrel. A receiver/breech cap is threaded onto the forward end of the inner barrel. The receiver/breech cap has exhaust ports for expelling combustion gasses, so as to function as a muzzle brake. The receiver/breech cap automatically centers the inner barrel in the outer barrel, such that the assembly is self-centering. No O-rings are needed, such that the device can be used in extreme temperatures.
