ABSTRACT:
An electromagnetic projectile launcher having a pair of conductive rails with a breech and a nozzle end and an impedance electrically connected across the conductive rails adjacent the muzzle end of the conductive rails, and a second impedance which increases as the distance to the muzzle decreases, is disposed in the muzzle end of the rails and in arcs confined within the muzzle to commutate the current to the first impedance to substantially suppress any external arc as the projectile exits from the launcher.
