A single particle intranuclear cascade code has been developed to determine the importance of multiple scattering, various nuclear medium corrections, and pion absorption inputs in medium energy nuclear physics. Reasonable agreement with experimental data for pion production by 740 MeV protons is obtained with all the input parameters taken from experimental free two-body data. Through a detailed study of the pions produced in Pb, it is determined that most of the pions (approx.85%) which exit the nucleus have scattered at most once, and that the results are very sensitive to the nuclear density and the pion absorption models used.
