- the muzzle energy of a vortex gun / cloud chamber?
- what the heck is blowby?

I was wondering if anyone could answer these questions because spudwiki doesn't have it on there for some reason.

I was going to make a vortex gun for skirmishing but i just the extra specs..

thanks littlebro05.

Muzzle energy would depend on far too many factors to give a decent ball park number.

There's pressure, flow, mass of ammo, diameter of barrel, projectile diameter, proj dia in relation to barrel dia, barrel length, ROF, and many other factors.

Blowby is where the projectile is too small for the barrel and air can blow around the projectile. Decreasing performance.

For a typical setup using pressures less than 150 psi, in the region of 0.5-1.5 ft/lbs depending on the factors MrCrowley mentioned.

I told you my day would come, just waiting for you to put in the edit: Beaten by MrCrowley

... though assisted very much by the amount of liquor imbibed until the early hours of the morning, and it's now only quarter to eight in the morning

Alright thanks for the info...

Now all i need is how to make an effortless vortex block... i was going to combine a vortex block design with a vortex cap design...
