...to bad I've never fired a Barret anything in my life. I'd like to 'feel' the experience.
That's where I got the pressure from I'll re read in the morning but I thought that was where the pressure was coming from to replace the gases from the propellant.

@Yahoshua thanks for the links, I'll give them a good read there's obviously something I'm not getting my head around tonight.
