Abstract (en)

An air launcher has a charge reservoir (34) with a displacement member (35). On opening of a firing valve (18 min ), charge pressure air is admitted to the barrel (2) of the air launcher for propelling the main piston (5). As charge air flows into the barrel space (16), the displacement member (35) is driven by an actuator (40) to maintain the charge air pressure substantially constant, whereby acceleration of the main piston (5) is substantially constant.
