Abstract

A non-pyrotechnic cueing device for use in non-lethal gunfire activities. The cueing device includes a fluid container for containing a fluid, and a fluid discharge assembly in communication with the fluid container. The fluid discharge assembly is adapted to force the fluid from the fluid container through an opening of the fluid container upon activation. A trigger having an engaged position with respect to the fluid discharge assembly and a disengaged position with respect to the fluid discharge assembly is adapted to activate the fluid discharge assembly upon movement to the disengaged position. A thermally responsive non-pyrotechnic trigger actuator is coupled to the trigger and is adapted to selectively move the trigger to the disengaged position.
