Silenced Rocket launcher

[Dawido]

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

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.

So what about a small calibre rocket?

Wait a minute

You don't need to silence the explosion at all

You just need to explode more efficiently

Think about it

Sound is energy

But the sound energy isn't making stuff blow up

It's just wasted energy

So if we took all that energy and put it into the explosion we would have a better explosion AND it would be silent

It should also be invisible

Thats a good point. Rockets dont need to explode on impact.

Well the idea is to place a explosion of said target and run away as far as possible then detonating it.

I want this hot & spicy toy in my garage, developed by Germans, executed by US Army:

M65 Nuclear Artillery

280mm

This is how I wake up every day.

Just make the explosion invisible, easy peasy.

[Psycho]

put maybe 10 ear plugs in each ear, and wear noise cancelling headphones. boom. it'll be silent

Theres no rocket. Thats not a rocket launcher.

it's about as close as you're gonna get to a silent rocket launcher lol

I'm like 99% sure this is already called Kinetic weapons which includes railguns which, the United States has actually heavily tested. (Because Sonic weapons, ones of pure compressed air, lack actual destructive energy of notable factor).

think they're just misunderstanding how explosions work and thinking of a hypothetical implosion weapon of black hole device like those things they toss around in thor(I think it was?)... but even if you suck everything into a black hole there's still a "thhhup" of the air filling the literal vacuum left.

Didn't the US test that type of weapon out in a bomb form with the Trinity tests? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapon_design#Implosion-type Or am I just misunderstanding the differences between an implosion warhead and an outright implosion singularity? Because sure, there's a difference but if you were to ask me if I knew what it was, I'd respond with the noise of a cycling refrigerator xD

No its not, Ive already posted closer. Thats not even a rocket launcher.

not the same thing. that's the implosion trigger for a nuke... it just compresses the core.

the other thing I'm talking about it a thing that pops up in sci-fi from time to time that involves some sort of black hole or singularity in some form which essentially nullifies whatever is within it's radius. like this clip at 1:50... kinda

edit: essentially explosions only make a sound because they move air... any moving air will make a sound... so if you can somehow "explode" without "imploding" while simutaniously not moving in any way.... ya you might be a "silent rocket".
