I was planning on designing a double action revolver. Can pa cf polymaker nylon filament be sufficient to sustain the pressure? Thanks
For 22 colibri maybe but not much else. There’s other revolver designs out there and you can see what needs to be metal
Nice to see you here :)
Without chamber liners - no. There was my video on (nuked) Reddit with the SnubbyBuddy blowing the PA-GF cylinder. With just 1.5grains of powder charge (as far I can recall).
The Ryno over in gatalog beta disagrees.
In fairness it has a trick up its sleeve with oversized rifling designed to vent excess gas rather than build too much pressure
I did blow up one cylinder with standard velocity ammo, but when I reprinted it hot and slower, I’ve put over 50rds of standard velocity 22 through it without failure, without liners.
Well. My bad. I didn’t think about .22 when answered. The chamber surface of .22 is 3 times smaller than 9mm, so, could work.
Anyways. This just reminds me, were is a “3d printed pipe calculator” https://guncadindex.com/detail/Supressor-Wall-Thickness-Calculator:9. Cans oriented, but could give a rough approximated info for a chambers and barrels.
