A launcher with a digital range finder that controls the operation of a variable velocity control valve that controls the flow of compressed air delivered to the breech. The launcher includes internal air chamber that fills with compressed air and a restrictor plate housing located on one end of the air chamber. The housing includes a center bore axially aligned with the air chamber. Located inside the center bore is a motorized restrictor plate configured to permit or block the flow of air from the air chamber into the breech. During operation, distance readings from the range finder are processed by a main microprocessor into motor signals that selective rotate the restrictor plate to control the flow of pressurized air and control the distance the projectile travels. In a second embodiment, the launcher is used with a computer controlled ballistic that includes a secondary microprocessor coupled to the main processor that triggers a secondary explosion inside the projectile after being launched.
A launcher with a variable velocity valve system, comprising;
The system, as recited in claim 2 wherein said round is a non-computer controlled round.
A projectile from a launcher travels from the launcher to a desired target wherein the launcher includes body with an internal air chamber that communities with a breech axially aligned with a barrel, a constant air pressure source configured to fill the air chamber with pressurized air sufficient to propel a projectile located inside the breech from the end of a barrel, comprising:
