Abrégé

A novel locking mechanism is provided for a noise suppressor mount for a firearm. The locking mechanism comprises a muzzle attachment comprising a plurality of locking positions, a collar, and a locking arm comprising a locking notch, wherein the collar rotates to move the locking notch in a circular direction into a locking position. In some cases, the locking mechanism further comprises a protection arm comprising a blocking arm, wherein, with the locking notch moved into the locking position and without a muzzle attachment being fully inserted within the collar, the protection arm is set to an engaged state in which the blocking arm has been extended toward the central portion of the collar, thereby preventing subsequent full insertion of a muzzle attachment, and wherein, with the locking notch moved into the locking position and with a muzzle attachment fully inserted, the protection arm is set to a disengaged state.

A noise suppressor for a firearm is provided that can be disassembled and is able to withstand full automatic fire. In various embodiments, a noise suppressor might include an outer tube, a distal end cap, and a pin(s). The outer tube might include a plurality of first holes spaced apart from each other along a circumference of a distal end of the outer tube. The distal end cap might include a plurality of second holes spaced apart from each other along a circumference of the distal end cap. One of the distal end cap or the distal end might be threaded into the other. Each of the pin(s) might be releasably inserted and affixed to at least one first hole and at least one second hole. A blank firing adapter is also provided that can be coupled to the noise suppressor (and can withstand live rounds being fired into it).

A bipod for a firearm is provided that improves efficiency and ease of reconfiguration of the bipod while providing stable support for the firearm. In various embodiments, a bipod for a firearm might comprise a main body that can mount to the firearm, two legs, two plates, a first actuator mounted to each leg, and a second actuator mounted to each of two side mounts. Each leg might comprise a head portion and a main leg which extends from the head portion. Each plate might rotatably couple each leg to one of the side mounts. The first actuator, when actuated, releases a leg to rotate relative to its plate by a first angle. The second actuator, when actuated, releases the plate to rotate with respect to the main body by a second angle, independent of any rotation of the corresponding leg relative to the plate effected by the first actuator.

A noise suppressor design is provided that improves reduction of muzzle blast without increasing the size or weight of the noise suppressor. In various embodiments, a noise suppressor for a firearm might comprise a central axis and a plurality of baffles that each nests within adjacent baffles along the central axis. A first baffle and a second baffle of the plurality of baffles might each comprise a proximal end having a first/second aperture oriented along the central axis and a plurality of notches in the proximal end adjacent to the first/second aperture and aligned in a first orientation. A third baffle of the plurality of baffles might comprise a proximal end having a third aperture oriented along the central axis and a single notch in the proximal end adjacent to the third aperture and aligned in a second orientation that is 90 degrees relative to the first orientation.
