Greg Latka USPatent 5,029,512

General silencer discussion. If you want to talk about a specific silenced rifle or pistol, it is best to do that in the rifle or pistol section for that brand.

All NFA laws apply.

Greg Latka USPatent 5,029,512

Post by Historian »

Innovative, creative, and 'longest' suppressor in a short can
via new physics principle.

Paulson's "Silencer ..History and Performance Vol. 22, P202, discusses the Helical Free-Flow
Suppressor design. For those who are new to this board the story of Greg Latka
and his innovative 'longest suppressor in a short tube' technology
is worth learning about.

Excerpt from Latka Patent: "..A baffle for a weapon silencer includes an annular wall that defines an axial passageway.
The annular wall defines a first section located adjacent to a first axial end and in which
the diameter of the axial passageway increases from a smallest diameter adjacent
to the first axial end to a largest diameter. The annular wall defines a second section
having a spiraled vane is formed on an exterior surface of the annular wall.
The annular wall defines a third section that is located adjacent to the second axial end,
the third section having a plurality of ports that extend radially through the annular wall to allow communication between the axial passageway and an exterior."



OSS has a flow through design also.

Our community is lucky to have such folks advancing the art.

Addendum: In the future some creative member may design a helical 'basket' for wrapping
say K-Baffles to space them away from the tube wall and emulate variations of
the flow through concept.
