Spring Driven Primer Striker Study

Abstract

A space optimization procedure is developed which allows the design of 100 percent reliable spring-firing pin combinations for the M42G percussion primer. Optimum design tables list complete data for approximately two hundred systems ranging in overall length from 0.500 to 2.000 inches and in diameter from 0.093 to 0.375 inches. The optimization is based on a combination of results of the theoretical and experimental phases of the investigation. The theoretical work employs wave propagation theory for the determination of the maximum attainable velocities of spring driven masses.
