Abstract

A hybrid gun for launching a projectile (19) by a combined propulsion effect of a chemical propellant and electrothermal energy. The gun comprises a breech-associated electrothermal propulsion energy injector (14) having a plasma beam generator (15) and a tubular chamber (17) holding a light working fluid (18) that during the travel of the projectile in the barrel (12) produces at the rear of the projectile (19) a light gaseous buffer zone. Optionally the gun may have in addition one or more electrothermal propulsion energy injectors mounted on the barrel. There is also provided ammunition for use with a hybrid gun having a chemical propellant holding cartridge designed for ignition by working fluid injected by the breech associated electrothermal propulsion energy injector.
