Pneumatic cannon may refer to: Dynamite gun, any of a class of artillery pieces that use compressed air to propel an explosive projectile; FN 303, a semi-automatic less-lethal riot gun; Holman Projector, a naval anti-aircraft weapon
The low projectile speed requirement of a toy weapon greatly reduces the amount of air pressure needed; combined with the importance of safety in the toy industry, this has led to widespread adoption of pneumatic firing mechanisms in toy weapons, where a propellant reaction is not appropriate (although other technologies, such as rubber bands, can be used).
Pneumatic guns for shipboard use, or at fixed coastal fortifications, could rely on a steam-driven gas compressor as an air source. For use by troops in the field, this was impractical. The Dudley-Sims dynamite gun used a smokeless powder charge to compress the air. Beneath the gun barrel was a cylinder into which the powder charge was loaded.
Air cannon may refer to: Air blaster, a de-clogging device with a pressure vessel and triggering mechanism; Air cannon (mechanics), a device used for marine reflection and refraction surveys; Air vortex cannon, a toy gun that fires air vortex rings; Vortex ring gun, a non-lethal weapon that fires gas vortex rings; Air Cannon (Mario), a plot ...
A pneumatic weapon is a weapon that fires a projectile by means of air pressure, similar in principle to the operation of pneumatic tube delivery systems. The term comes from a Greek word for "wind" or "breath" (πνεύμα).
A para-athlete competing with a match air rifle A collection of lever-action, spring-piston air rifles. An air gun or airgun is a gun that uses energy from compressed air or other gases that are mechanically pressurized and then released to propel and accelerate projectiles, similar to the principle of the primitive blowgun.
A pneumatic potato cannon A large pneumatic design: The projectile is loaded in the muzzle (not pictured), which is then attached to the cannon (at 2). The air reservoir (3) is filled to 120 psi (0.83 MPa) using the Schrader valve (4). Upon opening the solenoid valve (1), the air from the reservoir is transferred to the projectile, which is ...
The M61 Vulcan is a hydraulically, electrically, or pneumatically driven, six-barrel, air-cooled, electrically fired Gatling-style rotary cannon which fires 20 mm × 102 mm (0.787 in × 4.016 in) rounds at an extremely high rate (typically 6,000 rounds per minute).
