- @X08 A rocket firing cannon can be made exactly like a normal cannon@X05;@X08 the
- only difference is the ammunition@X05.@X08 A rocket fired from a cannon will fly further
- than a rocket alone@X05,@X08 since the action of shooting it overcomes the initial
- inertia@X05. @X08A rocket that is launched when it is moving will go further than one
- that is launched when it is stationary@X05.@X08 Such a rocket would resemble a normal
- rocket bomb@X05,@X08 except it would have no fins@X05.@X08 It would look like this@X05:

- @X08the fuse on such a device would@X05,@X08 obviously@X05,@X08 be short@X05,@X08 but it would not
- be ignited until the rocket@X05'@X08s ejection charge exploded@X05. @X08 Thus@X05,@X08 the delay before
- the ejection charge@X05,@X08 in effect@X05,@X08 becomes the delay before the bomb explodes@X05.
- @X08Note that no fuse need be put in the rocket@X05;@X08 the burning powder in the cannon
- will ignite it@X05,@X08 and simultaneously push the rocket out of the cannon at a high
- velocity@X05.
