Abstract
A silencer for a firearm which incorporates a cylindrical housing, front end cap, mean of attachment to the muzzle of a firearm, spacers and an improved cone baffle design. The proposed device incorporates a novel cone baffle design which uses concave flutes to increase surface area and thereby sound reduction. The geometry of this new cone baffle minimizes the weight of a silencer, maximizes internal volume, and effectively reduces sound and flash which are the result of a discharging firearm.
