Electric And Percussion Dummy Primer

Electric and percussion dummy primers are components used in ammunition and explosives. They are part of the supply class Fuzes and Primers, which falls under the supply group Ammunition and Explosives.

Electric dummy primers are non-functional devices that simulate the electrical firing mechanism of a live primer. They are used for training purposes, allowing personnel to practice handling and loading ammunition without the risk of accidental detonation.

Percussion dummy primers, on the other hand, simulate the impact or striking mechanism of a live primer. They are also non-functional and used for training and educational purposes.

Both electric and percussion dummy primers are designed to closely resemble live primers in terms of size, shape, and weight. This allows users to become familiar with the handling and operation of live ammunition without the inherent dangers associated with live rounds.

It is important to note that dummy primers are inert and do not contain any explosive or propellant material. They are solely used for training, testing, and educational purposes to ensure the safe handling and operation of ammunition and explosives.
