A dual chamber seismic air gun which discharges both chambers simultaneously to counterbalance the reactive forces generated by the discharges. The chambers are symmetrical within the housing of the gun so that the movement of the internal parts during operation also counterbalance each other. The gun is mounted coaxially on the air supply of a seismic array to provide a good profile for towing.
