Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2239535A1] The device (4) has a firing pin intended to impact a pyrotechnic composition (8) to activate ignition, where the firing pin has a rod (15) that slides when ammunition is fired through effect of firing acceleration from a starting position to a deployed position. The rod is integrated with a percussion tip (12) occupying a fixed position in contact with the pyrotechnic composition. A hammer (21) strikes the rod during impact of the ammunition on a target to cause ignition of the composition.
