ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for igniting a gas generating propellant grain which is susceptible to shattering when suddenly exposed to pressure above a predetermined pressure. The apparatus comprises a housing having a peripheral side surface, an axial end surface and a longitudinal central axis. An ignitable material is contained in the housing. The ignitable material develops hot gases, flame and pressure within said housing upon combustion of the ignitable material. The peripheral side surface of the housing ruptures at a pressure which is substantially less than the predetermined pressure at which the propellant grain shatters to direct the hot gases and flame radially of the longitudinal central axis of the housing to ignite the propellant grain.
