Thank you for the answer. Do you know the muzzle flash is due to the barrel's lenght; shorter is the barrel and greater is the muzzle flash because the charge doesn't has the time to burn completely inside the barrel, so you can solve that issue using a longer barrel, not with a longer cartridge?

"Oxygen free environment" notion and muzzle flash full cycle&benefits not assimilated...

I thought someone had already explained to you that a cartridge already contains all the oxidizer needed to burn all the explosive in the charge. Oxidizer that isn't oxygen, but another substance that vary accordingly with the type of powder; for example in the black powder it was used the saltpetre. So a charge already burns in an oxygen free environment.

About these "muzzle flash full cycle&benefits" I haven't assimilated, I suppose you are talking about how the residual pressure possessed by the gas, when the bullet comes out from the barrell, is used to contrast the recoil of the gun, if it is gas-operated or to start the reloading cycle, if it is a (long or short) recoil gun. Unfortunately these benefits are related to the residual pressure, while the muzzle flash is always an issue because it makes easier to spot the shooter and if this muzzle flash is too strong, it can also dazzle him for some seconds; seconds in which he is totally unable to face the enemy reaction.

Good luck with your reply. I will not answer since I have spent enough time with this matter.

I'm not responsible for your lack of arguments.

You lost sight of the visual of fire weapon.. Have a better look at the LSAC 218 Machine Pistol:

See where the ammo magazine is. Imagine the size of the cartridge and load it into the "barrel".
Yep, the "barrel" is mostly a barrel muzzle.

The sealed acceleration time(in the cartridge) is very limited, and only a small proportion of the total energy generated by the propellant combustion will get transferred to the projectile.

It also means that, to obtain sufficient muzzle energy for the projectile, the cartridge needs the fastest-burning propellant available.. Best way to have more unburned ejecta by-products(unburnt powders, dislodged fouling).

All your barrel argumentation falls apart, and you'll always have unburned ejecta by-products, even with the best propellant/oxidizer ratio for the initial deflagration in the cartridge.

The unburned ejecta by-products are my only concern in an oxygen free environment, and also how to recreate the condition for a proper muzzle flash. I think that the "long" cartridges("which are self sufficient in terms of propellant") will provide this condition.


P.S. And you're right, end of "discussion".. Thought it was already the case with your "trollesque" reply about homage...

The discussion was totes brill, but hardly understandable for common people.

How many pages did they waste about an argument for muzzle flashes in an oxygen free environment?
No gravity and you have the worst of scenario.
You shouldn't be firing a gun in an environment with no gravity, or you're going to go flying.

There is always gravity. What you want is some friction or a

I hate you, I was awaiting for the right moment to use that argument and now you have spoiled everything. :cry:

What do you mean by 'how do I stop this from appearing'? It's one of the last scenes of chapter 2, which ends with Chris coming back to your room to say the station's director has gone missing.
Thanks I can see link to chapter 4 in Description , what about chapter 3 ?

It's complicated.

The game is being reworked. The current version under development ends at Chapter 2 (Chapter 3 will be released soon, then Ch4 and even Ch5 in about 2 months from now, as they are largely done).

What you can see now as 'Chapter4' is the old version (different UI, less animations, less timeslots available for interactions with the girls, etc).

All those chapters available for download contain all the previous ones from their respective versions. So if you really can't wait to see what happens next after finishing chapter 2, you can download the old Chapter 4 (saves are compatible), but I wouldn't actually recommend that.

Is there supposed to be a ch4 scene in the showers with Sarah on the blackmail route?

Hm in general seems like most scenes are locked out or something, I guess the old version was just super bugged out or something
