The paper deals with the action of a ballistic gun facility with a squeeze-bore gun and deformable pistons. It is designed to produce a high projectile velocity. Thermo-gas-dynamic processes are described by quasi-one-dimensional gas dynamics equations which are numerically solved by a modified Godunov method applying a moving grid. The paper proves that more than 50 % speed increase can be achieved with this type of ballistic systems.
