Patent attributes
A suppressor assembly for a firearm having a receiver and a barrel connected to the receiver includes a tube adapted to be coupled to the receiver and defining at least one port arranged proximate to a first end. The tube encloses the barrel defining a radial gap therebetween. Moreover, the tube extends outwardly of the barrel in a longitudinal direction defining an axial gap therebetween. The radial gap and the axial gap together define an expansion volume around the barrel. An end cap is arranged at a second end of the tube and coupled to the tube. The end cap defines an outlet opening to facilitate an exit of a bullet from the tube. Propellant gases, generated during firing of the bullet, expand inside the expansion volume and exit the tube through the at least one port.
