ABSTRACT:
The present invention describes an igniter-destructor device for projectiles, grenades, cartridges, missiles or the like, comprising a thin-walled aluminum capsule, an igniter-destructor charge provided within said capsule, possibly an ignition expediting material within this charge, and a flange piece disposed at the head-end of the aluminum capsule and having an axial bore. The aluminum capsule is coated with a thin-walled plastic jacket which is preferably made from a shrink hose. Furthermore, there is preferably provided a specifically embodied ignition-expediting material which consists of ignition particles statistically distributed within the igniter-destructor charge. Such an igniter-destructor device is characterized by an especially clean and reliable operation as its functional conception, even under high stress occurring in the use of appliances which such igniter-destructor devices are installed into, remains substantionally unchanged.
