  2. Combustion light-gas gun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustion_light-gas_gun

    A combustion light-gas gun (CLGG) is a projectile weapon that utilizes the explosive force of low molecular-weight combustible gases, such as hydrogen mixed with oxygen, as propellant. When the gases are ignited, they burn, expand and propel the projectile out of the barrel with higher efficiency relative to solid propellant and have achieved ...
