[GZG] ]OT] Re: Grenade Launchers

Yes, but it does so in a controlled manner unlike a conventional cartridge.
Instead of a BANG it is more
of a b--a--n--g so you get a slower push. The
advantage is that you can use a thinner and lighter barrel as the pressure is
much lower, you don't get the same peak pressure you get with a conventional
cartridge. Powder composition and design can help but this is another solution
and is getting OT from an already OT topic. A facinating one though.
