ABSTRACT:
A barrel assembly for an electromagnetic rail gun is strong enough to withstand bursting forces generated during firing of the gun and has cooling capacity sufficient to enable the barrel to be fired repeatedly without overheating. The barrel includes a pair of elongated, generally parallel conductive rails having radially outwardly extending fins for structural support and heat transfer.
