Hazards ecountered by firing monergolic liquid gun propellants.

The sensitivity and hazard associated with the firing of monergolic liquid gun propellants is described in some detail taking a user oriented point of view. Emphasis is placed on the practical aspects encountered in the ignition and combustion of monopropellants in regenerative gun systems. This analysis is based upon experimental evidence obtained from compression ignition studies, closed bomb work and gun firings.
