1. A rocket propellant, comprising: propellant material; andan inert and solid counter-mass material comprising tungsten powder mixed with the propellant material at a time of manufacture. 2. The rocket propellant of claim 1, wherein the propellant material mixed with the tungsten powder is pressed out in a geometry such that the tungsten powder is thoroughly and uniformly dispersed with the propellant material. 3. The rocket propellant of claim 1, wherein the propellant material comprises nitrocellulose, nitroglycerin, potassium perchlorate, ethyl centralite, and carbon black. 4. The rocket propellant of claim 1, wherein the tungsten powder comprises a size range of about 5-about 150 microns in diameter. 5. The rocket propellant of claim 1, wherein the tungsten powder comprises a size range of about 5-about 44 microns in diameter. 6. The rocket propellant of claim 4, wherein the mass percentage of the tungsten powder and the tungsten particle size range are selected to optimize total impulse, sound reduction, and Insensitive Munitions performance. 7. The rocket propellant of claim 1, wherein the rocket propellant is utilized in one of a Shoulder-launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon (SMAW) system and a Light Anti-Tank Weapon (M72 LAW) system. 8. The rocket propellant of claim 1, wherein the rocket propellant is formed with a grain geometry comprising one of thick walled long burning solid and hollow cylinders. 9. A system for recoilless launching, comprising: a portion for launching, wherein the portion comprises a predetermined weight;a non-gaseous reaction mass portion comprising a weight in a range of about one-fourth to three-fourths of said predetermined weight;a pressure vessel moveably receiving the reaction mass; anda pressurized propellant gas generation mechanism in the pressure vessel so that the portion to be launched and said non-gaseous reaction mass portion are motivated in opposite directions by the gas,wherein the non-gaseous reaction mass portion is an inert and solid counter-mass material comprising tungsten powder. 10. The system of claim 9, wherein the tungsten powder comprises a mass percentage relative to a propellant material of about 70%-80%, equivalent to 17%-26% by volume of the propellant material. 11. A method for formulating a high-density rocket propellant, comprising: determining a balance between a carry weight of a device and back blast of the device when fired;determining a mass percentage, of an inert and solid counter-mass material comprising tungsten relative to a propellant material and a particle size of the tungsten, wherein the mass percentage and the particle size are responsive to the balance; andmixing an amount of tungsten based on the mass percentage and the particle size with the propellant material thereby thoroughly and uniformly dispersing the tungsten within the propellant material. 12. The method of claim 11, further comprising: utilizing the tungsten and the propellant material, which were mixed, in the device thereby providing a low-blast propulsion system. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein the mass percentage comprises a range of about 70%-about 80%, equivalent to about 17%-about 26% by volume of the propellant material. 14. The method of claim 11, wherein the propellant material comprises nitrocellulose, nitroglycerin, potassium perchlorate, ethyl centralite, and carbon black. 15. The method of claim 11, wherein the particle size comprises a range of about 5-about 150 microns in diameter. 16. The rocket propellant of claim 1, wherein the tungsten powder comprises a mass percentage relative to the propellant material of about 70%-about 80%, equivalent to about 17%-about 26% by volume of the propellant material. 17. The rocket propellant of claim 1, wherein the propellant material comprises at least nitroglycerin dissolved as a plasticizer in nitrocellulose.
