<p>A cartridge (10) for accelerating a projectile (18) includes a light gas (34) pressurized in a sealed container (12) to 5,000 - 10,000 psi. Upon ignition in the sealed container (12), a gas (34) mixture having a low or intermediate molecular weight and a high or low energy density is applied as a high sound speed gas to accelerate the projectile (12) to speeds of above about 2.4 km/sec.</p> |
