ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is disclosed for positioning and protecting a plurality of flexe burn cords in an ammunition shell. The burn cords ignite propellant in the ammunition. The positioning apparatus includes a closing plug which is secured to the base of the ammunition shell, a cover plate which extends over a cavity in the closing plug, and a plurality of legs which secure the cover plate in place. The burn cords extend into the closing plug cavity through openings in the plug, and are ignited by a separate combustion initiator which is also secured in the shell base. This positioning apparatus allows for safeguarding of the ammunition shell against inadvertent ignition by removal of the combustion initiator.
