TLDR
In this paper, a hypervelocity rocket system with velocity amplifier including a launch e with a projectile mounted therein by sabot means and a rocket motor with an energy absorber at one end and mounted in the launch tube for impacting the projectile and causing velocity amplification of the projectile through momentum transfer.Abstract:
A hypervelocity rocket system with velocity amplifier including a launch e with a projectile mounted therein by sabot means and a rocket motor with an energy absorber at one end and mounted in the launch tube for impacting the projectile and causing velocity amplification of the projectile through momentum transfer as it is propelled from the launch tube.read more

Patent
Miniature plasma accelerating detonator and method of detonating insensitive materials
TL;DR: In this article, a detonator for high explosives is described, consisting of a pair of parallel rail electrodes connected to a power supply, and a plasma is generated and accelerated toward the other end to impact against explosives.
Patent
Recoilless electromagnetic projectile launcher
TL;DR: In this paper, a recoilless electromagnetic projectile launcher is provided with a pair of projectile launching conductors, a source of high current, a sliding armature for conducting current between the conductors and propelling a projectile, and a structure which creates a force which is equal but opposite to a recoil force created as the projectile is accelerated.
Patent
Tube launched weapon system
TL;DR: A tube launched rocket system as discussed by the authors uses a plurality of small propellant charges located within the tube to propel the rocket, and employs an electronic ignition system for igniting the charges in sequence.
Patent
Weapon with recoil and braking device, damping this recoil
TL;DR: In this article, a plastically deformable absorption body is used as the braking device for reducing the recoil energy of a single-barreled firearm for firing a single round of ammunition.
Patent
Railgun structure for enhanced projectile velocity
John M. Juston,John P. Barber +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an armature vessel is placed between two spaced-apart electrically conductive rails to move a projectile at high velocities along the length of the rails.

Assembly for launching a projectile
TL;DR: In this article, an assembly for launching a projectile consisting of a launching tube having a smooth or rifled bore, a charge of gunpowder located in the tube for firing a projectile which is loaded in a tube in front of the charge, and a body of braking propellent which is located behind the gunpowder charge and which consists almost entirely of combustible substances.
Patent
Two stage telescoped launcher
TL;DR: In this article, a two-stage telescoped launcher with two stages is described, where propellant compresses a gas which turns ejects a projectile from a gun launch tube, and two stages are used to shorten the gun and to permit breech loading of the projectile.
Patent
Dual combustion missile system
TL;DR: In this paper, a tubular launch tube with an ogival projectile for operation in a trajectory m is described, where the projectile and a slug are respectively launched forwardly in the trajectory and rearwardly and the housing is ejected from the projectile responsive to simultaneous ignition of the propellant grains.
Patent
Ejector motor braking system
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-stage separable missile is used to eject from a launch tube by separating the first and second stages and decelerating the second stage to a zero velocity by the time it has traveled the length of the launch tube.
Patent
Defensive lightweight recoil-less launcher for high shock effect - has projectile with compressed gas carrier for producing required acceleration
TL;DR: In this article, a small arm with relatively low noise was used for protection against predatory fishes under water and also for commando activities, which can be used also for protecting against armed personal attacks.
