There's this tiny metal washer that's supposed to go into the bottom of ejection charge well of AeroTech DMS motors. What's the purpose of that washer? To my untrained eye, it doesn't do much (or anything?). It's free floating, it doesn't provide any sealing. It has hole in it, and BP will go through it down to delay element one way or the other. Once the delay burns through, the BP will go poof instantly with or without it.
It just happened that it was missing from the packaging of one of the motors I bought at last launch. And I spent some amount of time procuring a replacement washer. Wondering what would have happened (if anything) if I simply flew it without that washer.
