Abstract:

A survey was conducted on the status of the small arms propellant field, to delineate problem areas, and discover research and development requirements for small arms ammunition. The information presented covers increased velocity, ingredients, stability, temperature coefficient of ballistics, barrel erosion, muzzle flash and smoke, combustion and propellant characterization, and general performance characteristics.
