ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for discharging a group of projectiles for simultaneous impact at a target wherein the projectiles in the projectile group are sequentially fired at incrementally increasing velocities. More particularly, electrothermal gun technology may be employed and the energy imparted to each successively fired projectile may be increased so as to achieve the desired simultaneous target impact at a designated range.
