Which means the fuel can can be a CO2 reservoir

Feed the co2 in

Nah the hand flamer is fed by a worn fuel reserve

CO2 would be on the gun

Otherwise you'd lose the coolant properties as the gas expands down the tube

You can easily run a foot or so of tubing around the critical parts and then feed it in to the compression stage

Only downside is a slight delay when you fire

But it's a functional showpiece so that's irrelevant

Is the torch the simplest part? You can just mount a modified consumer end/industrial torch for that.

I mean yeah, propane torch or magnesium torch it's pretty simple.

Just slave it to the trigger

Because you don't want a magnesium torch just burning all the time

Yeah, but would it need to ignite before or at the same time that fuel is ejected

Hmmm

Two stage trigger

Ignites burner THEN spews fuel

Set up like the AUG/P90's?

I guess, I wasn't aware they used two-stage triggers

When they are set to auto they have a 2 stage

When on semi it blocks the second stage

So first stage ignites he burner, second begins fuel injection and pressurization

Letting go turns both off

@Nic386 ***I know niggy the design just looks like more fun due to how complicated it would be***

It would be more fun to direct a small fission reaction's energy out of a nozzle.

Until it explodes the wrong way

You're thinking of plasma

No I'm not

If a fission reaction explodes the wrong way, you're gonna regret it

Thats how Melta works tho, and hey don't Gets Hot

Don't worry about it

I know

Actually, the Melta is more akin to a microwave beam that agitates the fuck out of fuel particles until they reach a point where they act like both a fast and thermal neutron.

Well, Mars-pattern Meltas anyway

Other Melta weapons are lazy copies that just fire a small fusion beam.

Also, a Melta-style fusion weapon would be very safe for the user.

if you could do it with fusion yeah

A high-beta reaction core, coupled with a thermal conversion magnetic field and a pulsed laser ignition system...

Then you just leave one end "uncapped" as it were, and like water, it'll take th path of least resistance... out the barrel

The only problem comes from whether or not the beam needs a magnetic field to maintain coherence, like plasma, or if it's a particle beam like a mini-Cassaba Howitzer.

I'm thinking it's more like the second for Melta guns, but atmospheric interaction might definitely cause a plasma flare.

Hey guys reloading question when I fire my reloads carbon gets all over the outside of the cases and I'm using near Max charge what to do
