If its an interior door I would cut a piece of wood in the 35 mm range and thinner than the door. Then nail or glue it to the bottom of the door. Being thinner the obvious seam will not be too annoying. If you need even less gap I would do the same then add a brush type door sweep.

This is the exterior door, I hope? You could remove the door and add more material to the bottom (wood). You could switch out the door with a larger one. You could add some trim below the door, but then that’ll be where people walk, and 20mm is probably too much unless you change the floor heights or add a ramp.

Any other pertinent details?

The traditional solution to this is to have a multi-stage system, each stage being a capacitor, a coil, and a trigger circuit. Each stage is triggered as the projectile approaches it, using either a light gate or a hall effect sensor.
