The light-gas guns are typically divided into categories of single-stage and two-stage light gas gun. [1] One such single-stage light gas gun is located at Marquette University, Milwaukee, WI. It had been used for studying polymers and metals in pressure regions up to 20 GPa. The light gas gun at Marquette was manufactured by PAI and delivered ...
The corporation claims to have a system ready for testing as a potential long-range naval fire support weapon for emerging ships, such as the Zumwalt-class destroyer. The CLGG, like the railgun, is a possible candidate technology for greater ranges for naval systems, among others. UTRON has built and tested 45mm and 155mm combustion light-gas guns.

Diagram of long-stroke gas operation system Long stroke gas piston, from an AK-74. With a long-stroke system, the piston is mechanically fixed to the bolt group and moves through the entire operating cycle. This system is used in weapons such as the Bren light machine gun, AK-47, Tavor, FN Minimi, FN MAG, FN FNC, and M1 Garand.
