    摘要: A gun barrel with piecewise helical barrel fluting comprises a single start non-stop feature of alternating and intersecting right hand and left hand helical segments. Piecewise helical barrel fluting combines the ease of manufacture of a single start fluting with the improved performance benefits of a multi-start approach, namely increased barrel stiffness and resulting performance with respect to firing accuracy and firing precision.

    摘要: A suppressed muzzle brake for automatic and semi-automatic weapons provides mitigation of recoil, muzzle climb and increased sound pressure levels while overcoming the deleterious effect of increased blast overpressure on the shooter. The suppressed muzzle brake includes a plurality of suppressor baffles for providing quick blowdown of the weapon and some muzzle brake function, a baffle brake which redirects the propellant gas in a direction and manner so as not to increase blast overpressure to unsuitable levels. In addition, openings in a can of the suppressed muzzle brake provide a compensator effect by inducing a downward force on the suppressed muzzle brake.
