Hello, I have a few ideas about a firearm ignited through a 9 Volt battery. The design is very simple, give me your thoughts.
I originally had an idea of a very simple firearm using a quick match to ignite, the reason why I preferred a fast fuse initially instead of an E-match, is because the time it take to connect wires together., it can be pretty awkward. But I realized that I can use magnets to connect the wires, which will make the wires snap in place by themself. Like this Magnetic Wire Connections - YouTube
Here’s my main idea, it’s a muzzleloaded weapon. In this case the cartridge is the same length as the barrel
I also tought that it could be possible,to use shorter cartridges instead, just like ordinary rounds. These cartridges has to have the same dimension as the bullet, and the whole round could be forced down through a strong magnet instead of a ramrod, like this
Here’s another version with the magnetic wire connection inside the chamber, it will work for barrel-length cartridges atleast.
In order to extract the case, either you have to pull the wires out if they are connected to the cartridge, or have another string connected to the cartridge.
Maybe a spring can be used to eject the cartridge automatically, as an ejector, like this
Or a string connected to the projectile/sabot, like this
With sabot (when the sabot pushes the cartridge out, the projectile just contuneing forward, they are’nt attached together.
How long does that strong and thin string, made of fishing line or similar, need to be? The pressure has to leave the chamber and bore before the string can push the cartridge out..
A combustible cartridge could also be used instead, maybe.
The purpose with this gun, is to create a very simple design, that will never jam, but still could be reloaded at a decent rate.
