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

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