Abstract
A projectile seated in a gun barrel is fired by vaporizing a liquid propellant in a loading chamber communicating with the gun barrel through a rising duct. A cluster of filling bodies occupies the entire cross-section of the duct and dips into the liquid propellant within the loading chamber, these bodies forming a multiplicity of passages in which the ignited liquid gasifies upon being driven by its own vapor pressure toward the gun barrel.
