Muzzle-Flange Alignment Technique for Precision Impact Planarity in Gas Gun Experiments.

Abstract

A new muzzle-flange configuration and flange alignment device are described for precision alignment of target assemblies in gas gun experiments. The muzzle configuration consists of a fixed barrel flange and a moveable target flange. The alignment device consists of a long precision rod which fits into the gun muzzle and three dial indicators for monitoring the target flange adjustment. (Author)
