US12435942 - Suppressor for a firearm

A suppressor for a firearm has a body defining an internal volume, a baffle in the body and defining a baffle aperture on a bore axis, a piston element including a mount facility configured for connection to the barrel, the piston element defining a piston bore registered with the bore axis, and the piston element operable to reciprocate with respect to the body along the bore axis between a rest position in which the piston element contacts the baffle and a recoil position in which the piston element is away from the baffle. There may be a spring interfacing the piston element and the body and be operable to bias the piston element to the rest position. There may be a second spring operable to interface the body and the piston element only when the piston element is in a range of positions proximate the recoil position.

Claim 1

A suppressor for a firearm having a barrel comprising: a body defining an internal volume; a baffle in the body and defining a baffle aperture on a bore axis; a piston element including a mount facility configured for connection to the barrel; the piston element defining a piston bore registered with the bore axis; and the piston element operable to reciprocate with respect to the body along the bore axis between a rest position in which the piston element contacts the baffle and a recoil position in which the piston element is away from the baffle. a body defining an internal volume; a baffle in the body and defining a baffle aperture on a bore axis; a piston element including a mount facility configured for connection to the barrel; the piston element defining a piston bore registered with the bore axis; and the piston element operable to reciprocate with respect to the body along the bore axis between a rest position in which the piston element contacts the baffle and a recoil position in which the piston element is away from the baffle.
