Well, seen as your having the barrel smaller that's the point. You can run the 1" chamber the whole length of the gun, then run the 1/2" barrel most of the way through- so you get a slightly larger chamber, and it's the same size the whole way through. It'll take more work to mix the fuel well and ...

Just a small point, having such a tiny chamber with a combustion at atmospheric pressure the power is going to be rather miserable. Some cartridge research you might want to look into :)

Thanks for the input and link. Yeah I realized that my chamber is an insect compared to ...

I have a bit of physics knowledge which I hope would help me with my future ...
