How would you be able to guarantee that the muzzle velocity would be the same for each shot. What kind of redunency would be required to ensure each shot would be the same. The price of chemicals would likely be much more expensive than compressed air. I tried to rig up a Booby trap / Claymore using 12 guage shotgun shells as barrels and loaded only with your standard shotgun primer. I was hoping to set them up along trails and perimeters to shoot a guy in the leg when he passes by and triggers the photocell or trip wire. Primers are Very consistent with a precisely controlled charge in every primer. Experimented with several wads and No Matter what, it would shred every ball. Made a nice spray painter and would work in ranges less than 8 feet or so without a safety risk and 8 or so of them going off at once would scare the begibbers out of the guy that triggered it. I talked to several field owners and they didn't even think about it for a second before they said no.... Didn't even want me to demo it for them to evaluate. Just No.
