What was your highest flow coefficient valve you built?

If higher than 50% please describe it.

QDV in the short fat chamber is well above 50%. GGDT won't model a 1:1 OD diameter to seat ratio valve. Using in barrel accelleration data, the valve models like a burst disk.

Due to the way the trigger rod slides inside the piston, the piston is struck, so the initial opening is much faster than a regular piloted piston valve.
