Nothing too exciting. Just some pipe and a high pressure burst disc.

That looks like a conventional retained petal burst disk to me.
What happened to the pusher plate design which blows out a whole intact disk?

This thread isn't about Vera. The above is for a different gun that I play with.

Those do not look new. Any idea what they were for originally?

No clue.
When the Navy shut down the Long Beach shipyard they had to do SOMETHING with all the steel they had lying around. We got a thousand tons or something like that (I'm guessing). Everything from deck plating to pipe to armor plate to I-beams. We use it for... Well, whatever we need. Have been for something like 15 years.
