It came up in hypothetical discussion yesterday, and I'm not sure of the answer, so I'm posing the question to the experts here.
Are Estes BP motors designed such that in an overpressure CATO event, it will blow out the lower nozzle or upper portion of the propulsion grain, delay grain, ejection charge and clay cap before the paper case splits? In other words, is there any reasonably expected risk of it bursting sideways like a firecracker before the ends blow out?
