1. In a deflagrating gas generating composition for producing controlled gas pressure which imparts high velocity to projectiles at relatively low peak pressure, the improvement which comprises employing, as the essential gas-producing elements, approximately 82.5-30 parts by weight of an oxidizing agent selected from the group consisting of ammonium, alkali metal, and alkaline earth nitrates, chlorates and perchlorates;
- approximately 14.5-45 parts by weight of an oxidizable derivative of an organic carboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of ammonium and alkali metal salts of aromatic carboxylic acids; and
approximately 25-1.0 parts by weight of water.

Abstract
Gas-forming deflagrating compositions which produce relatively low peak pressures and impart high velocity to projectiles are formed by incorporation of from about 1 to about 25 percent of water in an oxidizer-fuel mixture.
