ABSTRACT:
A rotating blast diffuser for a Gatling type gun is disclosed. The diffuser as a streamlined, forward nose containing gas stripping means individual to the barrels. The gas stripping means, annular members for example, strip muzzle blast from a firing barrel, and divert the blast into a forward collection chamber. The blast expands in the collection chamber and flows to an aft expansion chamber where it undergoes additional expansion. Vent holes in the aft expansion chamber permit the blast to exhaust this chamber. A peripheral housing is placed around the diffuser allowing the exhausted blast to undergo further expansion before venting into the atmosphere.
