| Handheld firing devices are known to include a firing pin or other sharp object that strikes a non-electric detonator to initiate large explosives in order to create openings such as a building's wall or a gate. The non-electric detonator may be created so that the firing pin must strike the detonator in a specific location and with a specific force in order to prevent inadvertent or unintentional detonation. Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC Crane), has developed and patented a handheld firing device for initiating non-electric detonators. This device is a safe and reliable way of triggering a non-electric detonator so that the firing pin strikes the detonator in a specific location with the specified force. Advantages: -Enhanced triggering of non-electric detonators -Improved safety Potential Applications: -Military -Rescuers |
