About this document
Enhancing 122mm Howitzer Performance by Jose Luis Roman is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses modifying the barrel length of a 122mm howitzer to increase its muzzle velocity and range. It provides background on howitzer gun barrels, including their typical components and rifling design. It then describes the methodology used, which involves mathematically modeling the relationship between barrel length and muzzle velocity based on projectile base pressure and work done by propellant gases. The goal is to iteratively determine the modified barrel length required to achieve the
