GAS REMOVAL ARRANGEMENT AND BARREL, AND/OR WEAPON WITH A GAS REMOVAL ARRANGEMENT

摘要

Field adjustable gas bleed assemblies for use with firearms are described. An example field adjustable gas bleed assembly for use with a firearm having a barrel includes a gas cylinder that defines a pressure chamber to be fluidly coupled to a bore of a barrel, wherein the gas cylinder is substantially fixed relative to the barrel. Additionally, the example field adjustable gas bleed assembly includes a fluid control apparatus to control a flow rate of fluid between the pressure chamber and the barrel. The fluid control apparatus is adjustable between a first operation mode and a second operation mode that is different from the first operation mode. The fluid control apparatus includes a first borehole having a first cross-sectional area. The first borehole is associated with the first operation mode. Additionally, the fluid control apparatus includes a second borehole having a second cross-sectional area different from the first cross-sectional area. The second borehole is associated with a second operation mode.
