A weapon has a barrel, a body connected to the barrel, a cylindrical part affixed to an internal cavity of the body, a magazine cooperative with the cylindrical part so as to dispense a projectile adjacent a front chamber of the cylindrical part, a receiver positioned in the front chamber of the cylindrical part, an actuator cooperative with the receiver, and a trigger cooperative at the front chamber of the cylindrical part so as to ignite oxyhydrogen gas in the front chamber in order to file the projectile through the barrel. The magazine has an oxyhydrogen tank in an interior thereof. The oxyhydrogen tank being in communication with the front chamber and the rear chamber of the cylindrical part. The receiver is adapted to receive a bullet therein. There actuator is adapted to move the receiver in order to chamber the projectile.

One or more ram accelerator devices may be used to form one or more holes in geologic or other material. These holes may be used for drilling, tunnel boring, excavation, and so forth. The ram accelerator devices propel projectiles which are accelerated by combustion of one or more combustible gasses in a ram effect to reach velocities exceeding 500 meters per second. An endcap may be deployed within a tube of the ram accelerator device to prevent incursion of formation pressure products such as oil, water, mud, gas, and so forth into a guide tube of the ram accelerator. During operation the projectile penetrates the endcap and at least a portion thereof impacts a working face. A downhole end of the tube may be displaced laterally within the hole to change the direction of the hole.

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.
