A secondary charge (5) comprising fast burning corrosive gunpowder is attached to a projectile (3) and burnt in combination with a poorly corrosive gunpowder primary charge (4) in a burn chamber (2) in the firing tube (1). A method for firing a projectile from a gun involves using a fast burning, corrosive gunpowder as a secondary charge attached to the projectile, which is burnt in combination with a poorly corrosive gunpowder in a burn chamber in a rear part of the firing tube. An Independent claim is also included for the propellant charge combustion, where the secondary charge is detonated after the primary charge. |
