During the war the Germans developed guns with a constriction between chamber and bore, so that the pressure in the chamber was substantially higher than that in the bore. It is shown that a simple theory of such guns can be devised, which is adequate for analysis of firing trials and for testing th
## Abstract An improvement in internal ballistic performance is understood to mean an increase in muzzle velocity for the same weight of projectile and the same peak pressure. Using a thermodynamic model of the internal ballistics a possible method of achieving a significant improvement in performa
