− | ''' | + | '''Electronic firing''' refers to the use of an electric current to fire a [[cartridge]], instead of a [[percussion cap]]. |
In modern [[firearm]] designs, a [[firing pin]] and percussion cap are used to ignite the [[gunpowder|propellant]] in the cartridge and propels the [[bullet]] forward. Because the firing pin must travel a short distance, this creates a short delay between the user pulling the trigger and the weapon firing, which generally decreases accuracy. | In modern [[firearm]] designs, a [[firing pin]] and percussion cap are used to ignite the [[gunpowder|propellant]] in the cartridge and propels the [[bullet]] forward.
