ABSTRACT:
An assembly for launching a projectile comprises 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 the tube in front of the charge, and a body of braking propellent which is located in the tube behind the gunpowder charge and which consists almost entirely of combustible substances. The body of braking propellent may be connected to the projectile by means of a cylindrical sleeve to form a rigid unit which is loadable as a round in the launching tube, the sleeve containing the gunpowder charge.
