Abstract
A muzzle booster or similar device for regulating firearm discharge gases from an autoloading firearm is disclosed. The muzzle booster may include a shroud and an interior component. The interior component may include a blast baffle that is configured and dimensioned to provide internal and external geometries such that exhaust pressure within the gas system is extended as a function of time to increase the overall minimum pressure impulse from the gas system into the operating mechanism of the host firearm. The blast baffle or interior component may be of M baffle type, K baffle type, or other baffle design, including monocore designs, or baffle designs integrated into monocore designs. The shroud and the interior component may cooperate with the barrel of the host firearm to form a taper lock system for securing the muzzle booster or device to the host firearm barrel.
