guess its gonna look a bit like a steel version of the bl-520
. i like the loading system on them, looks good.

hmm.. if i make the camber in steel... what should i use to isolate the stungunwhires for the ignition going trough the chamber ? ... tried to find some ifo in the hybrid section.. but no luck..

You could go for an actual spark plug, assuming you find the right thread size.

will look pretty techy... 3 sparkplugs on the chamber !
milled and threaded a sparkplug holder for welding in on the chamber, will try this out and see how it works
image uploaded from my phone, sorry if its wrong size

Pictures are a little huge, but looks good
What do you plan on using as an ignition source? For a piezo the gap is a little small, you want 5-6mm. If you're going high voltage it's fine as is.

im using a 100k stungun as ignition, and plan to bend out the spark gap as far out as possible. not sure if its possible to set multiple sparkplugs in a serie tho. electronics is not my strongests field

Yes
and no need to widen the spark gap in that case.

is it possible to whire them like this ?

nope, only one will spark in practice, in normal applications......
each plug would need its own coil....
edit,
the stungun however could make a difference.... not sure

you might need 3 + wires one for each plug but i'm no elerowizz

You showed them in parallel.
For it to work in practice it needs to be wired like so, so the launcher body cannot be the ground because otherwise only one will spark.

A proper current sharing transformer between the ignition source and plugs can enable the use of multiple plugs on a grounded chamber.
This is common in lamp circuits for flat screen displays so all lamps have the same current and intensity.

hmm...guess im back to the first problem if i cant use the chamber as ground.

Hvor i Norges land holder du til?
What I would have done in your case would be to use only one spark plug and have a burst disk instead, that is if you are looking for optimal performance and not so much after ROF. This way you eliminate some of the performance loss over servral sparks as the gasses can burn almost completely before you have the disk bursting.
You could have a look on spark strips, those are fairly simple to make and creates sevral sparks.
