Too dangerous. > Peak chamber pressure (and hence acceleration) occurs with most calibres about five calibres down the barrel. In other words, if its a 6" Howitzer you've got pointed at someone, it will develop its peak chamber pressure at about 30" down the barrel. But it does depend a little on whether its an 'overbore' or 'underbore' cartridge, which is another way of saying, it depends somewhat on the volume of the cartridge, expressed as a ratio of the cross sectional area of the bore. As a disclaimer, I might add that I only know about these things because I have been a keen centrefire rifle owner and hunter for many years, who has used them for the control of unwanted introduced animals to the Australian landscape. For the native fauna, I prefer to use a camera for shooting activities.
