I put one into a Big Bertha.
I don't remember how old I was back then. I never suspected that it wouldn't work. I really thought a B14 would move that BB with style....
The MMT tube ripped right through the cardboard CRs with no apparent difficulty and pushed the wadding, chute, and NC right out the front. As I recall, the rocket never went anywhere. The smoking MMT tumbled to the ground toward one side and the ejection charge popped. End of flight.
Ya know, on second thought, maybe it's just as well that Estes doesn't have these available anymore....(just KIDDING!!)
