ABSTRACT:
The invention deals with an impact igniter (1) for projectiles with a fuse (15) acting as a transport safety and delayed arming device. By partitioning off the fuse (15) and the striker pin (7, 17) located behind it forward in the projectile trajectory direction, and by leading some of the surrounding air which streams past the projectile, against the fuse (15) through channels (24, 31) angled in relation to the trajectory direction, the igniter has been made rain-safe without extending the arming time unacceptably.
