| muzzle |
The opening at the forward end of the bore through which a piece is loaded. The flat forward portion of the gun tube surrounding this is the muzzle face. The forward end of the gun tube is often strengthened by a tulip-like enlargement called the muzzle swell; where a front sight, or muzzle sight, is used, this is mounted on the upper side of the swell. In some pieces, such as howitzers, a rectangular-shaped muzzle band is cast instead of a swell for reinforcement.
