	Gerald Bull - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bull suggested the use of a "sabot" type artillery gun to shoot models to supersonic speeds instead of using an expensive supersonic wind tunnel.
		Bull then moved on to hyper-sonics research in the field of ballistic missile defense (Anti-ballistic missiles, or "ABMs"), primarily the study of infrared and radar cross-sections for detection.
		However at this point Bull was arrested for illegal arms dealing with South Africa, in violation of the UN arms embargo after the administration in the US changed, and he spent six months in a US jail in 1980.

	Another Piece Of Puzzle Emerges In Death Of Supergun Inventor
		Bull is best remembered for his work on the "Supergun" - a gigantic gun/cannon with a barrel something more than 150 feet long, one of the projects that he worked on at his Northeast Kingdom complex.
		When Bull's body was found in the hallway of his apartment complex in Brussels, he still had $20,000 in his pockets, leading investigators to believe that his death was not the result of a robbery, but a hit.
		Apparently the unearthing of this piece of jewelry that Bull was wearing at the time of his death reinforces that the talk of the senior Mossad officials could have been more than a mere boast, claiming responsibility for taking the life of a man many others may have had reason to want dead.
