... but at the same time, you're losing air pressure because of air leaking into the magazine before the bolt is fully closed...c11man wrote:i saved some preformace lose do to chocked flow.

Well now after seeing that video I may just stumble back into trying to make a semi again. Might stay low calibur though. Who knows...
I still think you could cut a foot off of your chamber. I feel as though since you have such an effective bolt, that you should further optimize this for conservation or time and air.

so many muchness
Nice. About the only comment I could make is you may consider adding a detent to keep some of the balls from rolling out the barrel.

Hubb I was meaning to ask you, does an o-ring detent in ANY WAY OR AMOUNT effect the performance? I want to put one on my GB piston valve cannon, but I'm not sure if it will harm performace.

Assuming the air has nowhere else to go, a detent will actually increase performance, because it gives the valve more time to open and more pressure buildup behind the projectile before it starts to move. A properly engineered detent can be used on a valveless launcher that would have better performance than a burst diskGun Freak wrote:Hubb I was meaning to ask you, does an o-ring detent in ANY WAY OR AMOUNT effect the performance?

If anything, it would probably help performance, although it probably wouldn't be noticed with electronics. The detent would hold the round just a little bit longer and will build pressure behind the round before it releases.
I think JSR used this concept in one of his builds...
Edit: Okay, apparently I was too late in my response, but I figured he would have provided the link to one...which he did.

A good thread on the subject
