Abstract
Each weapon system's muzzle velocity can be used as basic data for operating accurate automatic firing control system. Even among the same kind of ammunition, despite taking into consideration various battlefield parameters, irregular performance causes difficulties in obtaining accurate muzzle velocity data. In this study, pressure in the gun barrel was measured, the experimental relationship between chamber pressure and the projectile's base pressure was found, and a method of obtaining muzzle velocity was researched. Through this method, data regarding muzzle velocity is offered that corrects irregular performance.
