Abstract
A short-barrelled gas gun for impact studies with a length-to-diameter ratio of 69 has been designed and installed. The design considerations and parameters of gun performance are discussed. The measured projectile velocities (up to 550 m s-1), are compared with the curves calculated by the dynamic gas theory.Keywords
