This video explores Remington's EtronX ammunition, a system featuring electrically primed cartridges. The content likely delves into the history, technology, and potential applications of this innovative ammunition, possibly contrasting it with traditional primer systems. Given the mention of 'forgotten weapons' and 'history,' the video might be an in-depth look at a less common or historically significant firearm technology.
This video discusses the Remington EtronX, a commercially unsuccessful attempt to integrate electronic ignition into firearms. Introduced in 2000, the rifle utilized a 9V battery and capacitor system to energize a primer containing a resistor, which then ignited the propellant. The primary technological benefit was a significantly reduced lock time. However, due to concerns about ammunition availability and a general market reluctance towards electronic firearm components, the EtronX failed to gain traction and was discontinued by Remington in 2003.
