Why do chokes work?

[srdiver]

Also. How could you fire a gun in a vaccum? There wouldnt be any combustion

the propellant has required chemicals to maintain combustion

Just go buy yourself a copy of The Gun And Its Development by W.W.Greener. Yeah, THAT W.W.Greener.

Ok now that this has been solved next question. How come a real duck’s call doesn’t echo but the sound from a duck call does...

If the duck was sitting on your head you might hear an echo.

How exactly does the posi trac on the rear end of a Plymouth work?

It just does.

Greener was one of the first to fully understand and standardize choke. He audaciously advertised in the mid 1870's that he would build guns on order to provide tighter patterns than most could dare to believe. He delivered consistently, proven decisively at field trials and revolutionized the industry. He went on to give detailed analysis of how and why choke worked in a manner that no one else ever did. This massive book, " The Gun And It's Development " is probably the most important shotgun reference ever written, that's why it went to 12 editions and counting and is a still current resource. You want to understand choke in theory and practice? Read Greener.

The Americans patented it first but W. W. Greener perfected it in the way we know it today.

Good to know. Thanks. I didnt know the oxidizing agents would work in the absense of oxygen

Ask a duck if he echoes or the call echoes. Then choke both of them and see if they work. Does that answer both questions?

It seems to me there are more and more things in our world that work on the PFM principle (that's Pure F'ng Magic). Of course that could be because, although I'm not actually older than dirt, I am pretty near the same age as dirt.
