Hopefully some bright idea will come from some where, to reduce the amount.... )
    Ive often wondered if this can feasible be achieved by using concrete pipes a wee way forward from muzzle say 6 feet to get muzzle blast room to spread out. if pipes are say 600mm across you can work angles to make it impossible for projectile to stray once its gone into pipe ...food for thought maybe????
