In fact many prior attempts have been made, without success, to fireY alarge number of electrically ignited cartridges vsimultaneously by series or parallel connection of the ignition ele- While the reasons for such failures rmay be varied, it is my theory that the trouble is due to s pre-ignition Vof certain cartridges and damage to the electrical system before the other cartridges are ignited.

After the necessary time delay the high explosive 25 is ignited in each primer cartridge. If a material'such as balistite is employed, it
' Will not detonate, at least at first, but instead will burn; but, as it burns the pressure will increase and as the pressure increases the rate of burning will accelerate until the primer Vcartridge will burst with explosive force intoY the propellant cartridge, igniting and detonating the propellant. The force with which theV primer cartridge res willfof course be dependent on the rupture point of the walls'of the primer cartridge and therefore the primer cartridge may be pre-designed `to meet the optimum r.conditions under which the propellant should be fired. v
It should be observed that although the primer charge may function asa detonator,` neither the explosive nor the time delaymeans need have the sensitivityV of a conventional detonating1 element Vsuch as those containing '.ff-ulrninate' lof Y mercury or lead azide. Thus, the primercharge is particularly safe.1' f fi The diameter of the primer cartridges and the i 21 cannot be displaced and though spoiled for further use maintain a complete seal. Y
Having thus described certain embodiments of my invention Ido not desire to be limited thereto, but intend to claim allnoveltyinherent in the appended claims. l
