Analysis of Exhaust Gases from The XM-19 Rifle -- An Application of Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectroscopy

A technique combining gas chromatographic and mass spectrometric analysis was developed and applied to determine the chemical composition of gases resulting from firing the XM-19 rifle with the XM-645 flechette round. Cyanogen, carbonyl sulfide, carbon monoxide, nitrous and nitric oxides were among...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A technique combining gas chromatographic and mass spectrometric analysis was developed and applied to determine the chemical composition of gases resulting from firing the XM-19 rifle with the XM-645 flechette round. Cyanogen, carbonyl sulfide, carbon monoxide, nitrous and nitric oxides were among the products detected. Quantitative data were obtained for some of the components. Thermodynamic equilibrium calculations were performed and compared with the experimental results. (Author)
