ABSTRACT:
A high pressure vented toroidal shaped propellant chamber has an integrally ttached primer assembly which communicates therewith by a tubular spoke element. The vented propellant chamber is affixed to the rear end of a projectile. The propellant, when ignited, generates gases in the vented toroidal chamber providing the propulsion force needed to forcibly expel the projectile from a launcher. The caseless projectile attains a proper muzzle velocity without the use of a conventional cartridge case.
