Silenced Rocket launcher

[Dawido]

Why didn't they make silenced rocket launcher? It would help during stealth missions

Have you ever seen an explosion with no sound op?

Maybe they happen all the time, but since they don't make a sound, I don't look up.

Because firing a giant rocket can't be silent, the explosion especially.

I think a silencer for the initial explosion is possible but not what's to come.

Well ... Something close to that exist ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvPeESVlCgA

Now, based on what's needed for an artillery piece, imagine what you'll need for a rocket launcher and the poor soldier who will need to carry that monster.

Rocket launchers are often mounted, and can even be attached to tanks.

I dont think the explosion has to be silent.

If the explosion is loud then what's the purpose of a silent rocket launcher
If you hauling around a giant rocket launcher doesn't draw attention, then the explosion will. This isn't the case of a gun where you can easily be discreet with it.

Stealth. So the enemy doesnt know where its fired from.

Also, it's a rocket. If it hits the target they're dead regardless of whether they heard it coming or not.

Exactly!

you could suppress it, but the suppressor would be so damn big, you would not be able to lift it.

if you're firing a rocket at something, you're not concerned with being quiet, because the rocket carries around ~5kg of explosive, its going to blow something up. theres no point in making it quiet, because in a split second its going to be very loud anyways.

Still, you'll need a big silencer for those ones and considering that your rocket will make a lot of noise during all its travel from launcher to target, it will not even be effective as the silencer will work only at launch. So ... Yeah, it doesn't exist because nobody need one.

Suppress the rocket or the launcher?

Well, the thread is about "silenced rocket launcher", so, I guess we talk about the launcher here. What make no sense for a rocket.

Yeah I thought he was talking about the rocket being suppressed too as it would be pointless if not. The some recoilless launchers can be pretty quiet.

In Bugs Bunny an ACME bomb umbrella would come out and silence the explosion.

When you know how hard it is to suppress a mere shotgun to begin with, so anything bigger than that ... Good luck lol. On the other hand, some small caliber weapons can be surprisingly silent when suppressed with subsonic ammos.

omfg, i would need a dozen of huge towels whenever such thing explodes silently..

however, a flash hider on the rocket launcher would do it, and maybe at the rockets burst too, as launching a single rocket is already near to silent.

20 years ago people laughed at me when i suggested silencers for shotguns.. and now look today.

So what about a small calibre rocket?
