Silencer for shotguns and a method of making the same

摘要

A silencer for a shotgun firearm comprises a metal body tube, a front end closure having a projectile exit guide, and a rear end closure having a barrel mounting element. A plurality of conical baffles with metal guide bushings are serially positioned in the body and arranged coaxially with the bore of the shotgun barrel. The guides are spaced apart a distance less than the axial length of the shot cup of the shotgun projectile. An expansion chamber is provided in the body rearwardly of the muzzle where the muzzle gasses are initially discharged into the body.
