A detailed cross-section of a metal cylinder with internal V-shaped baffles, depicted as a technical diagram on a dark background.

1. Outer Cylinder (Tube) o Length: ~212 mm (8.3 inches) o Internal diameter: 50 mm o Wall thickness: 2 mm (outer diameter ~54 mm) o Material: High-strength alloy (e.g., titanium or Inconel) o Function: Houses all internal baffles and provides structural integrity. One end is threaded for barrel attachment (e.g., 1/2x28 or QD mount). The other end accepts the end cap. 2. Blast Chamber (Front Section) o Length: 40 mm o Internal diameter: 50 mm (open volume) o Function: First expansion zone for initial muzzle blast. No baffles inside this section. 3. V Baffle Stack (8 Individual Baffles) o Quantity: 8 baffles o Each baffle is identical:  Diameter: ~49.8 mm (snug fit in 50 mm ID tube)  Central bore: 7.0 mm (exact for 5.56 mm projectile)  Upside-down V shape:  Deflection angle: 35° per leg (70° included angle at tip)  V height: ~18–20 mm from tip to base  Thickness: 10 mm front-to-back  Dual speed humps: 2 × 2 mm tall rounded protrusions per leg (positioned ~33% and ~66% down each leg)  Trailing lip: 1 × 2 mm curved flange at rear edge (concave toward incoming gas)  Half-moon gaps: ~7–8 mm clearance on each side of the V (allows bypass flow) o Clocking: Each baffle is rotationally offset by 30–45° from the previous one to eliminate straight flow paths. o Function: Primary turbulence generators. Split incoming gas, create vortices, and dissipate energy through staged expansion. 4. End Cap o Thickness: 2 mm o Central bore: 7 mm (beveled) o Auxiliary ports: Six 5 mm beveled See more
