carry out the many important tasks of sabotage of communications, 
subversive activities for diversion of enemy troops.
 
Note
 
     The deception plan for this weapon is that it is considered 
as a flare signal pistol for ground troop units, and because of 
priorities nothing will be done about it until later this year.
