Abstract (en)
The invention is of a sleeve or cylinder (12), receivable on the muzzle end of a rifle or the like, which has at least one vibratory reed or finger (14, 16, 18) projecting therefrom. As rounds exit the muzzle, gases from the firing intrude between the bullets and the reed(s) or finger(s) causing vibration, uneven gas compression within the muzzle end of the weapon and against a given side of emerging bullets. As a consequence, the aimed accuracy of the bullets is slightly disturbed so that the bullets impact in a wider target zone than the otherwise precisioned accuracy of the weapon would indicate.
