• F41A 1/02 Hypervelocity missile propulsion using successive means for increasing the propulsive force, e.g. using successively initiated propellant charges arranged along the barrel length; Multistage missile propulsion
• F41A 1/04 Missile propulsion using the combustion of a liquid or gaseous fuel, e.g. hypergolic fuel
• F41A 1/06 Adjusting the range without varying elevation angle or propellant charge data, e.g. by venting a part of the propulsive charge gases, or by adjusting the capacity of the cartridge or combustion chamber
• F41A 1/08 Recoilless guns, i.e. guns having propulsion means producing no recoil
