The present invention relates to firearm muzzle devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to firearm muzzle devices configured to install along a firearm suppressor.
Silencers can be shot wet which means adding water or a gel in 3-5 cc's into the exit point of the silencer. This is done for a few reasons, first that the liquid/gel absorbs and eliminates the first-round pop of silencers which is where the first shot through a silencer is noticeably louder than the follow-up shots. Second, the liquid/gel works to further suppress the shot reducing the overall decibel count. A muzzle brake is a device that normally attaches to the barrel of the rifle. A muzzle brake is designed to redirect or deflect the high-pressure and high-velocity gases of the gun either to the side or the rear. In conventional systems, liquid or gel is simply applied into the exit point of the silencer. This does not uniformly cover the inside of the silencer and large amounts of the liquid or gel is expended with each shot, limiting the number of wet shots to only 3-5 shots. Liquids such as water are also not contained in the silencer. The applied water tends to spill out of the silencer if the silencer is directed downwards. Gel can also leak out of the silencer if pointed down, but in a slower pace. Additionally, silencers are known for back pressure or gassing which redirects gas back to the shooters face. Therefore, it is an objective of the present invention to address these problems.
The present invention aims to solve these problems. The present invention is a device that attaches to the silencer in a variety of ways that adds a wet chamber that is specifically designed to allow uniform dispersion of water or gel and act as a muzzle break for the silencer. The present invention provides two to three times more wet shots compared to the conventional systems. The present invention retains applied liquid or gel medium in the silencer. The present invention also acts as a muzzle break for the silencer, reducing felt recoil and mitigating the amount of gas blowby returned to the shooters face. The present invention can be used in a way to reduce toxic fumes, reduce recoil, and work as a liquid trap to increase wet shot capabilities by swapping internal materials. The present invention can be configured to any configuration to accommodate any suitable task by swapping the internal materials. The present invention provides operator safety to the user and reduces toxic gas exposure.
The present invention is a wet muzzle device suitable for sustaining liquid medium in a firearm suppressor, allowing the firearm suppressor to sustain further wet shots. Additionally, the wet muzzle device serves as a firearm muzzle brake, where the wet muzzle device is configured to divert the gases exerted from a firearm in a configuration suitable for reducing felt recoil. The wet muzzle device comprises a fluid housing, a fluid retaining element, and an end cap. The fluid housing comprises a first mounting end, a second mounting end, and a fluid chamber. The end cap comprises a bullet aperture. In the preferred embodiment, the fluid chamber is positioned within the fluid housing, where the fluid chamber is configured to provide ample clearance to secure the fluid retaining element within the fluid chamber. The first mounting end and the second mounting end are terminally positioned opposite to each other along the fluid housing. The fluid retaining element is positioned within the fluid chamber. The end cap is connected adjacent to the first mounting end. The bullet aperture is centrally positioned to the end cap.
