A system and method divides the full undivided or fee simple property rights bundle of an individual property into at least two distinct property titles, each encompassing distinct rights and available to distinct owners. One divided title can be a possessing title that encompasses the single unbundled property right of possession and the second divided title can be a controlling-title that encompasses all unbundled full undivided or fee simple rights to the property other than possession. As a result, transactions that transfer physical possession of the property without transferring other rights that control modifications to the property can be accomplished. The system and method permits other divisions of the full undivided or fee simple property rights bundle to achieve other objectives property owners may desire.

A gas dispersion nozzle for a gun silencer having a nozzle portion with a front end and a rear end and walls enclosing a hollow interior therein. The rear end of the nozzle portion is attached to the gun silencer and the nozzle portion extends into the interior of the gun silencer. The rear end also attaches to a firearm. The walls have channels which direct flow of propellant gases out of the hollow interior and into the interior of the gun silencer at an angle to a path along which the projectile passes when the firearm is discharged. The channels cause the flow of propellant gases to become turbulent or rotational or both and can cause the flow rate of said propellant gases to decrease. The gas dispersion nozzle reduces the report and/or flash produced by the discharge of a firearm.
