ahhhh Yea I think that is in already… sort of. I believe I have heard of punts and such, as well as military/civilian grade ammo etc… but some more crafting options for overcharging the powder might be nice. Have to get someone to look at all the formulas and stuff used in ammo crafting. IRL people make the powders to reflect the expected barrel length etc…
powders are mixed and used not only in various amounts, but also different types of powders especially faster and slower burning. to get the most out of the gun, and the powder. Faster burning powders are used for shorter barrels such as pistols so that all the powder burns and causes gas expansion to peak when the bullet is leaving. Slower burning powders are used on longer barreled weapons so that they don’t finish burning up before the bullet gets to the end, the reason this is all important is because the barrel of rifled weapons(all modern ‘guns’ but not black powder, or launcher type weapons) is ‘rifled’ or has a small grooved spiral down the barrel to give the bullet spin to increase accuracy and reduce tumble. To make this useable instead of the bullet just bouncing down the barrel randomly, the bullet is actually fractionally smaller than the barrel, meaning that those grooves shave some of the lead off of the bullet as it passes by, giving it spin while also creating friction. End result if the gasses stop expanding before the bullet reaches the end of the barrel then it is getting friction while no longer being pushed by the expanding gases.
tl;dr: Adding more powder is often the best way to increase the force behind the bullet, as any self respecting bullet pressing nerd true redneck will tell you E=M*V[sup]2[/sup] or AKA the kinetic energy a bullet has is equal to its mass multiplied by its velocity squared. notice how important that velocity number is. Which makes the powder have a large effect, but anyone with an itch to give that bullet the absolute most energy will go into even more detailed formulas involving length of the barrel and such to make sure they are getting every ounce of oomph they can get on that bulet, changing out for slightly better powders for the weight of powder and all kinds of stuff.
…and people wonder why rednecks dislike being labeled ‘dumb’ with nothing to go on but a southern drawl.
