A primer detonation device includes a slide block and a rod. The slide block is configured to slide along an axis within a housing. The housing has a rear end and a front end. The rod is configured to slide within the housing relative to the slide block. A first moving device moves the slide block rearward from a slide block percussion position to a slide block misfire position after a misfire occurs. The first moving device also moves the rod rearward to a rod misfire position. A second moving device moves the slide block forward from the slide block misfire position to a slide block pre-percussion position without moving the rod. The slide block and the rod are locked together in an armed pre-percussion position.
