- 3) Thread one of the pipe couplings on the drilled pipe nipple.
- 4) Cut coupling length to allow barrel of weapon to thread fully into low
- signature system. Barrel should butt against end of the drilled pipe
- nipple.
- 5) Seperate the top half of the grenade container from the bottom half.
- 6) Insert the pipe nipple in the drilled hole at the base of the bottom
- half of the container. Pack theabsorbent cotton inside the container and
- around the pipe nipple.
- 7) Pack the absorbent cotton in top half of grenade container leaving
- hole in center. Assemble container to the bottom half.
- 8) Thread the other coupling onto the pipe nipple.
-
- Note: A longer container and pipe nipple, with same "A" and "B"
- dimensions as those given, will furthur reduce the signature of the
- system.
-
- How to use:
- ----------
-
- 1) Thread the low signature system on the selected weapon securely.
- 2) Place the proper cotton wad size into the muzzle end of the system
- (see table 2)
- 3) Load weapon
- 4) Weapon is now ready for use
