Strängsprutbar drivmedelskomposition för eldvapen och strängsprutat drivmedel framställt därav

The invention provides an extrudable gun propellant having a specific energy content of at least 1100 kJ/kg and typically over 1200 kJ/kg, but with reduced vulnerability to shaped charge attack compared to known colloidal propellants. This is achieved by using an energetic binder prepolymer and an energetic plasticiser with a reduced content of explosive filler. The composition comprises 65-85% by weight particulate explosive filler, 10-30% by weight of a mixture of a funtionally-terminated poly(nitratoalkyl-substituted)alkyl ether prepolymer and a cross-linking agent, and 1-12% by weight of energetic plasticiser.
