I tried to fire a superposed load today. I made an improvised barrel in cal .44 by using a steel pipe, my .44 ball were underdimensioned for the bore but that’s a good thing since the idea behind the experiment was to proof my sealing. I didn’t had any tapered chamber either to prevent compression of the rear charge.
I sealed the rear charge using blutak behind the ball and greased wad infront the bore.
I wired everything together and took cover behind a stone just in case, push the button and BANG - one shot goes off. I check the barrel, everything seem okay and the rear round was still left in the chamber. I switch ON the rear circuit, took cover again, push the button - nothing happen.
I couldn’t set the rear round off. I believe the reason behind that is that the compression from the recoil messed up the igniter.
However, no blowback setting the rear charge off. So I guess it was a success for my sealing proofing.
