The mechanism for the acceleration of a projectile of a projectile loom has a torsion-bar launching mechanism (1) with a striker lever (3) which, at its end remote from the torsion bar (2), carries a striker piece (34) which, during launching, acts directly on an impact face (43) of the projectile (4). The projectile (4) for the loom has a casing formed of a hollow body and may be partially closed at the rear, as viewed in the direction of flight. The striker piece (34) can pivot on the striker lever (3) and has at least one striker face (33) which is aligned by an alignment member (5) so that at the instant just prior to triggering of the weft insertion the position of the striker face conforms to that of the impact face (43) of the projectile (4); that is, for example, the two are parallel. The transmitted impact energy is uniformly distributed over the impact face of the projectile (4), which advantageously reduces wear of the striker face ( 33) and impact face (43).
