Abstract
A suppressor for a firearm having dynamic baffles that move together during the discharge of a firearm. A dynamic baffle assembly may be positioned within a housing that may be connected to a barrel of a firearm. A projectile path passes between dynamic baffles of positioned within the housing. The dynamic baffles include engaging faces that are adapted to permit the passage of the projectile through the dynamic baffles. The gas created from the discharge of ammunition impinges upon the engaging faces causing the movement of the dynamic baffles towards each other. The movement of the dynamic baffles may slow the flow of gases created by the discharge of ammunition and reduce the noise created during the discharge of a firearm.
