Abstract
A propellant mechanism for launching a projectile comprises a propellant with a detonation point at which said propellant is initially detonated which is at one end in a forward direction closest to said projectile, such that the detonation proceeds through the propellant in a backwards direction away from the projectile. A reflecting surface is provided away from said projectile for reflecting the detonation into the forward direction towards the projectile.

A propellant mechanism for launching a projectile comprising:
- a forward direction and a first end towards said projectile and a backwards direction and a second end away from said projectile;
- a propellant with a detonation point at which said propellant is initially detonated which is at said first end in said forward direction closest to said projectile, such that the detonation proceeds through the propellant in the backwards direction away from said projectile;
- and
- a reflecting surface at said second end away from said projectile for reflecting said detonation into said forward direction towards said projectile.

A projectile with a propellant mechanism for launching the projectile, the projectile comprising:
- a forward direction and a first end in a launch direction and a backwards direction and a second end away from said launch direction;
- a propellant with a detonation point at which said propellant is initially detonated which is at said first end towards projectile, such that the detonation proceeds through the propellant in the backwards direction away from said projectile;
- and
- a reflecting surface at said second end away from said projectile for reflecting said detonation into said forward direction towards said projectile.
A method of manufacturing a propellant mechanism for launching a projectile, the method comprising:
- Providing high explosive,
- shaping the high explosive into a hemispherical shape having a first rounded surface and a second flat surface;
- shaping hollow inserts into the first rounded surface;
- providing a detonator at said flat surface;
- and
- placing the shaped high explosive in a casing.
