ABSTRACT:
The device is a very low noise, no muzzle flash howitzer round and matching tube. It comprises a case, a propellant, a projectile, and a plunger which launches the projectile from the case. With a mount and breech it provides a way of firing projectiles so the enemy cannot discern their source. Rockets may also be launched by this device so their own propellants are ignited well away from the launcher. The device is near silent at muzzle velocities below the speed of sound and it has good range.
