EvMick, I would offlist you if your aol.com address worked for
me, which it usually doesnt. The army has been experimenting
with liquid propelled projectiles since at least the early 80s. They
had some tests going on at China Lake when I was there, but I
dont have a URL or the results. I heard it worked a little like
fuel injection in a car, where they forced liquid oxygen and
nitromethane into the breech. Dont know where the research
is today. I heard they had an alcohol/LOX version too. spike
