I am mid way threw fabricating my chamber it will be 16" x 3" and the pipe will be 3/16" thick pipe wall.

I am planning on going as high as 6x.

Anyone see any problems?

Ah, but is that annoying?

Ah...it might be :D

Wall thickness doesn;t mean a thing, especially in a hybrid.

Shrapnell to the face or genitals,...that's annoying

But wall diameter does matter what would you pick 1cm thickness or 1 inch thickness? I think I would like to have the one inch please :roll:
Wear a cup :)

Possibly - Is this chamber made of steel, PVC, Jell-O, copper, wood, blancmange, tungsten carbide, carbon fibre, re-enforced concrete, woven reeds?

If you're using Jell-O, blancmange, wood or woven reeds, you've got a big problem on your hands, although the first two might make for either dessert or an amusing youtube video.

If it's PVC or concrete, I would also avoid it, but remote fire might be acceptable.

If it's made of a suitable metal, then I can't foresee a problem.

Yes it is made of metal... Sorry to forget that fact.
