That will decrese performance ALOT
And sometimes it may be so much the projectile will be stopped in the barrel or even sucked back in the chamber then.

I recommend a ratio of .6 to .8 for a quiet gun, the lower the ratio, the more quiet the gun. Though dont drop it too much or you will lose performance really quick. Take a look at this test result: http://www.burntlatke.com/jpg600/15cb-graph.gif a .5 ratio could also be done for a quiet gun but don...

That vid is very very nice! My idea: Havent tried yet but I was thinking of a foam sabot with a small but long steel pointed and sharp pin in front of it. The idea is that the sabot gets pushed VERY hard by the pressure on the whole back surface and the pin gets almost all the kinetic energy since a...

Getting the parts is easier than assembling them.....
Look around, go to every store you think they might have it.
That includes all home improvement/DIY-stores or however you call that.

And then i mean: a POWERFUL pneumatic thats WAY WAY WAY more powerful then any of your combustions. Show em that and let them choose: -Burning Propane, launching a spud fast -Relea...

Try venting it for an hour, and then put VERY LITTLE fuel in. I think you got too much fuel. A rule of thumb is that when a combustion doesnt fire coz of fuel problems, you got too much fuel, never too less. I dont know how small your chamber is but on mini guns it can also be useful to spray little...
