Solid propellant (powder) guns are the most common type of ballistic research launchers. Powder guns with rifled barrels are typically used for
firing conventional ordnance while smooth-bore barrels are for launching “chunky”, long rod, and flat plate projectiles.
Features/Options
- High-performance launchers designed for operation at chamber pressures up to 100,000psi (690 MPa).
- Powder breeches designed to accept standard brass and steel cartridges or for cartridgeless operation.
- Barrel “wear” sections to restrict bore erosion to a lower cost replaceable component
- Operated on a wide variety of commercially available smokeless propellants
- Rifled (up to 105mm) or smooth-bore barrels.
