Abstract
A supplemental propulsion system for a weapon used to fire a projectile includes a barrel and chamber to hold a projectile round. A translating pressure tank surrounds a portion of the barrel, and the pressure tank is configured to translate along the barrel. A recoil spring assembly includes a spring and a pressure plate downstream of the chamber for holding the projectile round. The pressure tank is coupled to the pressure plate such that the spring is configured to stretch upon firing of the projectile and translate the pressure tank along a length of the barrel. The barrel includes a first port configured to selectively align with a first tank port during translation, for the discharge of pressurized gas from the pressure tank. The discharge of pressurized gas occurs rearward of the projectile as it passes through the barrel after firing.
