The design and construction of a 50 mm bore laboratory gas gun capable of velocities up to 1000 m s-1 is described. The performance of the gun is compared with the analytical interior ballistics model of Pidduck and Kent. The adaptation for one-dimensional plate impact experiments, the instrumentation employed and the capabilities of the system are described, and some examples of experimental results obtained are given.
