Abstract
An assembly for launching a projectile comprises a launch tube having a smooth or rifled bore, a charge of gunpowder located in the tube for firing a projectile which is placed in the tube in front of the charge, a braking propellant located in the tube behind the gunpowder charge and carrying a ballast material, and means ensuring that the gunpowder charge is ignited before the braking propellant. The braking propellant may be connected to a projectile by means of a sleeve to form a rigid unit which is loadable in the launch tube, the sleeve containing the gunpowder charge.
