Abstract
A suppressor assembly includes a suppressor that is mounted by rails slidingly received by the barrel clamp of a multi-barreled rotary machine gun to accommodate movement of the suppressor between a latched, operative position projecting beyond the barrel muzzles, effective to suppress blast pressure and flash incident to gun firing, and a latched, stowed position restoring the gun to its normal barrel length.
