ABSTRACT:
The invention is an electronic circuit with several inputs, several outputs, a timing circuit, and two switching circuits used to actuate the firing of certain firearms. The circuit is partitioned into a voltage boosting circuit, a machine gun firing circuit and a cannon firing circuit. The voltage boosting circuit produces a voltage that is larger than the supply voltage, which is used to facilitate the operation of MOSFET switching circuits. The machine gun firing circuit connects a low impedance voltage source to a particular output only so long as a particular input is electrically asserted. The cannon firing circuit connects a low impedance voltage source to a particular output for a specified period of time only in response to a stimulus on one particular input and only if an additional arming input is electrically asserted.
