Rarefaction wave gun (RAVEN) propulsion has renewed interest in the fundamental limits of recoil reduction attainable by redirecting propellant gases rearward from a gun without compromising the projectile propulsion. Traditionally, this has only been achievable through the use of muzzle brakes. RAVEN's unique ability tap into the internal energy of propellant gases that are not gainfully employed to propel the projectile may be considered analogous to efforts to mechanically close the muzzle of a gun at shot exit to drive all of the propellant gases through a muzzle brake. The recoil reduction potential for RAVEN and current technology muzzle brakes will be extrapolated across viable gas gun velocities using simple empirical relationships. The quantitative findings of this parametric study must be considered to provide perspective as opposed to true predictions because of the extrapolated nature of the study; particularly at higher muzzle velocities.Introduction.
