Abstract

See full text

A projectile launching device includes a primary tube having a primary passage for launching a projectile. In some embodiments, the projectile launching device further includes a secondary tube disposed about the primary tube and defining a secondary passage, and a flow apparatus in fluid communication with the secondary passage configured to move gas through the secondary passage. An opening is at the end of the secondary tube and is configured to allow gas to laminarly exit the secondary passage. In other embodiments, the projectile launching device further includes a flow apparatus in fluid communication with the primary passage configured to draw gas from the primary passage to provide at least a partial vacuum in the primary passage. The projectile launching device may provide increased range, accuracy, and velocity of the projectile, in addition to providing a reduced sound signature of the projectile launching device.
