This video visually compares the lock time of a flintlock firearm against a modern self-contained cartridge gun, highlighting the significant speed advantage of the latter. Using slow-motion footage, the content aims to demonstrate the internal mechanics and the speed at which sparks are generated in the flintlock. The creator emphasizes that this is a demonstration of their work and not an instruction manual, cautioning viewers against attempting such work without the necessary skills and toughness.
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.
