Ok, I have made some new burst disk grenade shells based on Davidvainis 1-1/4" shells for his 3 barrel launcher. I am having a bit of a problem though. The disks keep breaking before I even start pumping air in. I had a few successful attempts yesterday, and they made a nice bang, but these ones are not working. Should I try and sand the edges to a rounded edge so it does not cut the aluminum foil?

I would try that before anything else, if it cutting the foil, thats probably the problem
That is all.

I have 10 shells, so I have 10 trys to experiment. I will try sanding down one and see what happens.

Also try twisting the couple as you slide it over the foil tape.
That is all.

That is all.

Ok, what would be the bursting pressure of 1 layer (just a strip of tape folded over its self)?

I think Davidvaini might of said around 70 PSI but Im not sure. I think he just stuck the sticky side to the pipe and slid the coupler over it.
That is all.

Ok. Well we shall see soon. I should be going to lowes in about an hour, so yeah. When I get back, I will test it out. Also, my cloud is not inputting enough air, what should I do to increase the flow?

What is restricting the flow, if its a blowgun, you can mod it for better flow, check out MrCrowleys tutorial.

I think it may be the tubing, I will get some more parts for it and expand it a bit more. I am also going to get a 2" coupler and end cap so I can make a tennis ball burst disk mortar.... I think its gonna sound like a 50 cal round. It may not go down too well with my neighbors, but it will be super fun at 3:00AM.
