Abstract

This paper presents a method for the X-ray detection of phenomena within a gun barrel,shows some photographs taken, revealing the combustion of propellant and motion of grains. The paper gives a comparison for the states of motion of the propellant beds with different ignition patterns (primer at bottom and central position) during tke firing cycle. It is seen that the burning propellant grains basically remain in the chamber. Propellant combustion within the barrel is analysed with the help of information provided by these photographs.

Key words
