Exemplary embodiments of an ignition apparatus are disclosed herein. Each ignition apparatus is configured for use in a projectile, such as an artillery projectile, rocket, missile, drone, and other similar projectiles. In each exemplary embodiment disclosed herein, the ignition apparatus initiates an ignition sequence that is the reverse of the ignition sequences implemented by conventional ignition devices that utilize pre-loaded or pre-compressed spring-operated firing pins. Each exemplary embodiment of the ignition apparatus disclosed herein utilizes the extreme axial acceleration of the projectile to arm and initiate the ignition sequence.
