Abstract
An open bolt firing mechanism for programmable cartridges. The mechanism includes a firing bolt having a bolt face configured to engage a programmable cartridge and force the programmable cartridge toward a barrel of the weapon. The mechanism also includes a cradle connected to the bolt for holding the programmable cartridge in a position adjacent to the bolt. The cradle stabilizes the cartridge so that fusing information may be transferred to the programmable cartridge.
