As I said, we had an oops with the electronics installation. The ARTS2 was installed upside down and did not detect apogee.
It was a group project...not an L3 project. 2 grams was used because that was more than enough to get the chute out of the cannon. To our surprise it was also enough to separate everything.
the ground test was in refrence to the other post by cbrarick of going from 3 to 6 grams on his l3 cause jim and tim told him it was best... not this project...
But, i wans't being critical of the group project.. OUCH on the upside down part, that stuff happens.....if you glue the wires to the slet or wherever they are mounted, you wont mount your altimeter upside down... (puting an avbay in upside down is another story... )
But, since you didnt answer the difference between 2 and 3 grams is thermal energy. Granted... i dont know what that difference is ... But, it does not equal more "eplosive damage", 2 and 3 grams are equally capable of that.
