ABSTRACT:
A high energy firing mechanism for a well perforating gun comprises a downwardly directed shaped charge which is discharged by an impact detonatable primer. The explosive jet developed by the downwardly directed shaped charge impinges upon a booster charge which in turn is connected to a primer cord leading to the shaped charges of a perforating gun. Sufficient detonating energy is produced to assure high energy detonation of the booster charge and primer cord, even though such elements may be formed from a thermal resistant explosive.
