Effect of Increase in Starting Pressure on Efficiency and Velocity of Caliber 0.30 Weapons

Abstract

The effect of increasing the initial pressure is studied theoretically. No improvement in muzzle velocity of a caliber 0.30 gun is found. Under some circumstances, the efficiency may be improved, but only at the expense of muzzle velocity.
