Abstract

Abstract An attachable, hand held pistol shaped electric firing device, containing a electric generator and a storage battery for firing weapons or explosive devices that can be activated by a electric pulse is disclosed. A light projecting means for general use in the field is also contained. If a weapon to be fired has trailing wires, said wires are attached to electric terminals on the pistol shaped firing device, electricity from its battery is dispensed by depressing the trigger switch, direct current can also be dispensed by working the slide portion of the pistol shaped electric firing device, said slide portion activating the generator housed in the pistol grip. If the pistol shaped electric firing device is to be applied to a weapon such as a high angle of fire mortar tube, a lug grove on top of the slide portion will allow it to be applied to a suitable lug on the mortar tube, with the breech cap removed from the mortar tube rockets can be fired horizontally.
