  Thing is, the cannon ball IS the pressure valve. And since one of them will invariably go faster than the other one, the whole thing will be even less unpredictable with one half of the chain still in the barrel

    then just make it so the canonball is NOT the pressure valve. tge way i see it is you just gotta let tge explosion build up for a bit so the pressure equalizes

    Or why not load them linearly into a single barrel. It’d shoot out straight but would likely develop asymmetries and build up a moment of inertia eventually resulting in the bolas motion they’re likely intending.

      That’s what you normally do with chain shot. Unless that was the joke, of course.
