Think about it.

There's positive pressure all the way up the barrel, even at exit.

Think about it??? Are you crazy? Think about it on this board?? You get a Gold Star For the Day for not having studied physics at Hogwarts.

Now if you could just quit w/ that venturi effect for chokes you'd be way cool.

have a day
