Guns Using Liquid Propellants

Abstract

Progress in all branches of the project during the period is reported. The investigation of the problem of the bulk loaded mono-propellant gun continues to engage almost all the available effort. Progress of firings in large guns are still in progress, experimental apparatus is being developed as required, and the long-term investigations into toxicity, sensitiveness, logistics, etc. continue. Difficulty in obtaining ballistic regularity is causing concern. Wherever possible, future work will be directed towards the attainment of better reproducibility.
