From time to time in discussion of black powder clusters, there is this “fear” that if, say all three motors have the same delay and their ejection charges fire simultaneously, it will “overpressurize” the body tube and rupture it before the nose cone and laundry come out (which should completely decompress the compartment.)
various solutions such as using asynchronous ejections (e.g., C6-3, C6-5, C6-7 motors) or using some plugged motors (plugged by manufacturer, of course , let’s avoid that rabbit hole), or venting some of the motors away from the main compartment, or ejecting the motors (mentioned only for context, again let’s not go down that hole)
just curious, has anyone personally experience or personal SEEN this happen, or is it really a theoretical concern?
