ABSTRACT:
A firing mechanism for projectiles comprises a housing (42) having a bore (50) in which a firing pin (54) is slidably mounted under the influence of a spring (70). Leaf springs (72) formed in the housing wall hold the firing pin in a safety position until released by movement of a slider (82) caused by aerodynamic drag forces acting on deployable fins (96) or a parachute (92).
