Hey there i just need to know if, when being all technical and precise, the chamber is everything behind the ammunition, so say in an over-under launcher, the 1.5"/2" U section would also be part of the chamber as well as the regular 3"/4" chamber.

The chamber is anything behind the projectile that is subject to pressure, in a combustion.

The U section, doesn't have to be 1.5" or 2", so no need to give us dimensions, same with the chamber, the chamber can be any size.

But yes, in an over-under combustion, the chamber is anything behind the projectile that is subject to pressure.

Hope you enjoy your stay, it's gonna be a long one :)
