Think so...

Do they exist? It HAS to be possible in some way dont you think?
Of course they do. The spray'n'pray hybrid concept has been around since the early days of the hybrid, as far as I can tell, and they have been built. One adds a ridiculous amount of spray fuel. They then seal the chamber, start slowly pumping in oxidiser, and activate a continuous spark. Eventually, the mix ignites. It's reportedly the scariest type of spudgun in existence that doesn't carry a high risk of death by DWV. (unless it is DWV, in which case it could probably be used as a torture device of some sort...)

I think that chamber fans and a good c:b would work wonders!

Define "revitalize".
Does that mean "bleach and possibly set on fire?"

Indeed, just adding the chamber fan would already make you win the contest I suppose. Not even mentioning a proper C:B, multisparks and burst disks. Even with a 2 foot barrel we might win.
