Abstract
A device for either or both of metal cutting and metal welding. The device is configured to a standard service side arm and other guns and/or other types of tools to cut and/or weld metals for the purposes of breaching and welding metals in a range of applications, including in air and underwater, without degrading the primary purposes of the gun or other tools. In one embodiment, the device includes a reactive material cartridge and a nozzle adapted for attachment to a muzzle. In another embodiment, the device includes a muzzle-loading tube including the reactive material and a nozzle configured to shape the reactive material exiting the tube.
