unreferenced date February 2007 Electronic firing refers to the use of an electric current to fire a cartridge weaponry 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 an electronic fired firearm however, an electric current is used instead to ignite the propellant, which fires the cartridge as soon as the trigger is pulled. Electrically primed small arms cartridges retain the primer which functions in the same way as a conventional primer. Rather than being struck by a firing pin, or equivalent mechanical means, a small electrical current serves to detonate the primer which provides the thermal impulse necessary to ignite the propellant which then deflagrates, producing pressure.

Seven people were killed resulting in the intensification of Vimochana Samaram , a protest against the then communist led government. Background The Communist Government infuriated over the popular revolt demanding better governance gave the police strict orders to suppress all the protests at any cost, they started firing against unarmed innocents who marched towards the police station to inquire about a missing person. 7 people were killed in the firing people from the Mattoor, Kyppattoor and Kottamam parishes of the Syro Malabar Catholic Archdiocese of Ernakulam Angamaly Archdiocese of Ernakulam . Aftermath On the next day Sunday 14 June, the dead bodies were taken to the nearby town of Kalady accompanied by a huge crowd and buried at the Cemetery of the Angamaly Forone Church. This event enraged the people of Kerala and intensified the Vimochana Samaram. Following this, the EMS government was dismissed and the state placed under President s rule pending elections. The Communist Party was routed in the re election that followed. Commemoration The fiftieth anniversary of the firing was observed with a ceremony at the St. George Forane Church in Angamaly on June 14, 2009.

Orphan date February 2009 Refimprove date November 2007 Tangential firing is a method of firing a fuel to heat air in thermal power station s. The flame envelope rotates ensuring thorough mixing within the furnace, providing complete combustion and uniform heat distribution. The most effective method for producing intense turbulence is by the impingement of one flame on another. This action is secured through the use of burners located in each of the four corners of the furnace, close to the floor or the water screen. The burner nozzles are so directed that the streams of coal and air are projected along a line tangent to a small circle, lying in a horizontal plane, at the center of the furnace. Intensive mixing occurs where these streams meet. A scrubbing action is present which assures contact between the combustible and oxygen, thus promoting rapid combustion and reducing carbon loss. A rotative motion, similar to that of a cyclone, is imparted to the flame body, which spreads out and fills the furnace area. The ignition at each burner is aided by the flame from the preceding one. With tangential firing the furnace is essentially the burner, consequently air and coal quantities need not be accurately proportional to the individual fuel nozzle assemblies. Turbulence produced in the furnace cavity is sufficient to combine all the fuel and air. This continuously ensures uniform and complete combustion so that test performance can be maintained throughout daily operation. With other types of firing the fuel and air must be accurately proportioned to individual burners making it difficult to always equal test results. With this type of firing, combustion is extremely rapid, and short flame length results. The mixing is so intense that combustion rates exceeding 35,000 Btu ft sup 3 sup h or 360 kW m sup 3 sup are practical under certain conditions.

Unreferenced date August 2008 Ricochet firing is the firing of artillery at a low angle and non maximal power so as to cause the shell projectile shells to skip across the ground. In traditional artillery tactics, either a cannon , a howitzer or occasionally a Mortar weapon mortar would fire a shot that would just clear the outer parapet of a fortification, and then would bounce or ricochet inside the fortification s bounds. One of the primary purposes of Ricochet Fire was to dismount artillery and guns positioned on an enemy s fortifications. Additionally, Ricochet fire could also be used to cause chaos behind an enemy army s fortifications, as the ricocheting cannonball would devastate logistical structures not fortified to withstand cannon fire. The first European use of Ricochet Fire has been accredited to the Marquis de Vauban during the Siege of Ath 1697 siege of Namur city Namur , although it is noted that Turkish artillery divisions were using ricochet fire as early as 1608.
