When sound and muzzle flash are not an option
With the Vacuum/Suppressor in place, the pressurized gas behind the bullet has a vacuum chamber space to expand into, so the pressure of the gas that exits the tip of the suppressor is reduced significantly; therefore, the sound of the gun firing is more silent than conventional silencers.
Summary of the Invention
The present invention is a firearm suppressor that uses a vacuum
chamber to reduce the sound and flash levels that are typically created when
a firearm is discharged. The vacuum chamber(s) of the present invention adds
a novel feature to firearm suppressors that enables the propellant gases to
fill the vacuum chamber(s) and by this way to remain inside the suppressor for
a longer period of time. The principal object of the present invention is that
the vacuum chamber diminishes the volume of gases that exit the muzzle of the
firearm caused by discharging the firearm. Another objective of the present
invention is to reduce flash at the muzzle. Another objective of the present
invention is to reduce the pressure wave caused at the end of the firearm's
barrel. The distal end of the suppressor has en end cap to seal the exit hole
of the suppressor and allow vacuum to be formed. The ammunition when loaded
into the chamber of the barrel forms a seal at this location to allow a vacuum
chamber to be created inside the barrel all the way to the end of the suppressor.
When the firearm is discharged the bullet travels through the barrel followed
by high pressure gases. Once the bullet reaches the interior chamber of the
suppressor, the gases will start to fill the vacuum chamber instead of finding
a volume of air at normal atmospheric pressure level. As the bullet continues
its travel through the distal end of the suppressor, it will perforate the vacuum
seal and continue its flight path.
After a single shot, the vacuum seal is destroyed and a new seal must be positioned
at the distal end of the suppressor. Once a new round of ammunition is loaded
into the firing chamber of the firearm's barrel and a new seal is placed in
the distal end of the suppressor, the vacuum generator or pump can be used to
remove most of the air from inside the suppressor and barrel and prepare the
firearm for the next use. If an immediate second shot is required, the suppressor
will still work just as a standard silencer would.
