I know the burst-disk cartridge has been around for a while now, but as I was planning my next large-bore summer build, I thought I'd make a slight modification to to concept to fit my needs.

Here's the proposed design, everything should be pretty self-explanatory

I'd love some input and design critiques before I make this thing, so tell me what you think

If I understood correctly, the bolt injects a pressure into the can a bit like I had proposed here?

Challenging enough as a pneumatic, let alone a hybrid... but still achievable :)

That's the basic idea, but mine is manually cycled and manually loaded, so way less complicated I suppose

This one's less made for ejection and reuse, but rather, it's intended to be destroyed then recycled
