High pressure pulsed gas source for accelerating a projectile along a gun barrel. Plasma flows at right angles to the discharges into a propellant mass that is converted into a high pressure component of the gas pulse. Gaps are arranged so power applied to the plasma is substantially the same in the discharges when plasma is initially produced.
