ABSTRACT:
A ballistic weapon is disclosed having a barrel with a forward end to which a barrel extender is secured. The barrel extender includes a cylindrical outer body portion, a forward ring-like portion and a rearward wall portion, which together define a forward chamber in communication with the bore of the barrel of the weapon. A plurality of apertures extend through the rearward wall portion and are angularly spaced equidistances apart around a central longitudinal axis of the bore of the barrel. The apertures define central axes which are substantially parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the bore of the barrel. The apertures connect the forward chamber to an interior annular space extending between the exterior of the barrel and a perforated shroud extending exteriorly around the barrel. The apertures pass hot gases created by ignition of the explosive or propellant charge from the forward chamber in a rearward direction, along paths which are substantially parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the barrel of the weapon. The perforated shroud provides a shield for preventing blow-back of the hot gases expulsed through the apertures from reaching the person firing the weapon, and to allow the gases expulsed through the apertures to be dissipated and pass exteriorly of the weapon.
