ABSTRACT:
An internally augmented, parallel rail electromagnetic projectile launching system includes a plurality of projectile launching rail pairs wherein the stacked height of the rails adjacent to the launcher bore decreases from the breech end to the muzzle end of the launcher. The launcher rail pairs may be electrically connected in series with each other and in series with an external current source. Alternatively, a separate though not necessarily entirely independent current source may be provided for each pair of rails and switching means may be included to substantially simultaneously connect each current source to its associated rail pair.
