ABSTRACT:
A liquid propellant gun utilizes a plurality of combustor assemblies or cells located about the periphery of the breech end of a gun barrel. Scaling to larger size guns may be achieved by using different numbers of identical combustor assemblies about the periphery of the bore. Further adjustments may be made by changing the stroke length. Such a standardized piston may be developed for a single cell gun where it may be perfected prior to adding pluralities of said cells to form larger guns. Due to each cell burning propellant progressively, each generates gas at a fixed rate so that for example eight cells supply eight times the rate of one cell. Hence scaling becomes a rational procedure.
