Each type of artillery weapon has a special requirement for muzzle velocity and pressure in which for the ammunition used for weapon with long barrel and high power, the term "increasing the efficiency of propellant" means, it is extremely important to improve the muzzle velocity of the projectile while maintaining maximum pressure in the barrel. This article presents one of the key approaches to "increasing the efficiency of propellant" by regulation the grain velocity of the initial particles of propellant by absorbing camphor on their surfaces (phlegmatic propellant). Keywords: efficiency of propellant, phlegmatic propellant, absorbing camphor. 1. INTRODUCTION The speed of projectile is clearly showed throwing the internal ballistics. Relating of parameters of maximum throwing speed Vmax, muzzle velocity Vo and characteristics of the artillery fire are [1]: 2 f V max * * (1) m L 2S Vo * Pd (l ) (2) m 0 where: m- the projectile mass, kg; φ- coefficient of supposed, θ- coefficient of adiabatic, f- force of propellant, , ω- propellant mass,
