A C:B of 1.5 will not perform very well. Take a look at BurntLatke's CB studies. Or a summary of the data in the SpudWiki.
If you want to shorten the barrel without sacrificing any performance then a C:B of about 1.2 is as high as you can go. A C:B of 1.5 may well drop the muzzle velocity by as much as 50% compared to a longer barrel.
Like others have said, you only need one stungun.
Really can't think of any reason that two chambers would perform better than one of the same total volume. In fact, two chambers will probably perform a bit worse. More drag on the gases as they are choked through the coupling, greater surface area to volume ratio giving more heat loss to the gun, and probably a few other reasons.

i am going to guarantee that you will not get both stun guns to work. sure, itll still fire, but that is because one side ignited the other. wire the spark gaps in series between the 2 chambers.
on that note, why 2 chambers? The cost of 4inch fittings is crazy. I dont have actual prices in front of me, but tee, 2 elbows, and another endcap will easily cost $50.

probaly because it looks cool also mabey if 1 chamber had a bad fuel air ratio the other would go off and ingnite the other.I dunno its just a theorysharpshooter wrote:i am going to guarantee that you will not get both stun guns to work. sure, itll still fire, but that is because one side ignited the other. wire the spark gaps in series between the 2 chambers.

looks cool is reason enough. just go with one stun gun tho.
calculating the chamber size may prove to be rather dificult with elbows and t's and what not. Also, fueling and mixing 2 chambers will probably be more problematic.
just my $0.02 worth

2 will surely be safe. And I think that even if you had ignition in only one, it would still work. The flame is going to travel out of one, and since the potato is there, it will have to get forced into the second chamber thus igniting it. But, just use a stun gun and have either single or dual sparks in each. Or, you could make a chamber that will be hooked up to both chambers and fueld. Then a spark will be fired in it, thus shooting a flame out of it and into the chambers, creating an ignition system that should be quite unique and effective.
I'm weird, I know it, you don't need to tell me.
