dc.description.abstractA power supply generating a reaction torque generally simultaneously with its power output is utilized to supply power to fire the railgun. The power supply and the railgun are cooperatively mounted together such that the reaction torque of the power supply upon discharge counteracts the recoil force of the railgun, thereby transferring lateral forces through the compulsator to a position in the power supply which is removed from the position of the coupling between the railgun and the power supply.
