And people wonder why I've never had the guts to fire it! It's all over in .4 secs (Not 4 secs- that's .4...shotgun indeed!)One of my favorite urban legends involves this motor. I heard it second or third hand, so who knows if it's really true. Story is that Frank fired this motor and of course it sounds like a gunshot. While walking around the pad afterward somebody finds a 29mm Kosdon grain just sitting on the playa. Frank looks at it and it matches the length and core on the 29mm. The nozzle throat on this motor is pretty huge, but extruding a grain through it in one piece is pretty insane. Out of curiousity, they numbered the grains and fired the motor again. Sure enough, they later found grain #1 on the playa... intact.
