A light-gas gun is a type of experimental projectile launcher that uses a combination of gas and light to accelerate projectiles to very high velocities. It is primarily used in scientific research and testing, particularly in the fields of materials science, aerospace engineering, and ballistics. The concept of a light-gas gun was developed to simulate the conditions of high-speed impacts that materials and structures might experience during events such as space re-entry or impact from meteoroids.
