Muzzle Blast Amplification
Abstract
An experimental program is conducted having the dual goals of verifying quasisteady analyses of muzzle gasdynamics and investigating muzzle device effects on projectile accuracy. Firings are performed using a muzzle adaptor to increase blast loadings without altering the mechanical launch environment. The resulting data compare well with quasi-steady analysis and indicates that amplified muzzle gasdynamic loadings can significantly increase dispersion.
