Electric primer

Electric primers have previously been used for the discharge of a variety of military arms, which generally are larger than what are typically considered small arms (0.50 caliber and smaller), such as 20 mm and 0.60 caliber firearms systems. In such conventional electric primers a finite quantity of primer mix is required to reliably activate/ignite the propellant of a round for a given volume of the propellants of different cartridges. The quantity of primer mixes for military ammunition can generally be varied as needed to reliably ignite the secondary propellants given the relatively larger sizes and internal volumes of such 20 mm-0.60 caliber ammunition. In fact, there is excess airspace in the larger primer designs of such ammunition. An electric primer for the discharge of ammunition suitable for use with small arms.
