Ayup. The pressure spike would be horrendous. Possible with a duplex

does that mean "layer cake" of different burn rate powder in the hull?


Bore life tends to be rather short over 4200 fps, even with todays
steels


hmm, couldn't you use something like a plastic sabot carrying your x
calibre bullet in a larger bore? (or is that just an artillery option?)

some guy sent me a ling a couple of years ago to this "thing" that had
multiple barrels and multiple rounds stacked up in each barrel (bit
like a tubular magazine) with each round electrically fired for some
insane rate of fire, mucho impressive video

many moons ago I used to hand with a guy who had a handgun, I think it
was a thompson? that was chambered for single shot rifle rounds, he'd
go hunting with it and hand me his savage shotgun / rifle for backup,
then one day we were back at his place and I'm like "WTF is THIS!!" and
it turned out to be a replica texas dragoon black powder revolver, that
thing was sooooooooooooooooooooo much fun that if we were allowed
firearms in the UK and it didn't have to be a pure survival weapon and
you were only allowed to buy one gun that would be it for me.... that
bitch had torque.. woot.
