As the pressure continues, striker retaining balls line up with cavities that allow them to escape, releasing the striker into the percussion cap detonator, this triggers the booster charge, followed by the main charge.

It also added a small tetryl booster charge on its fuze to completely detonate the explosive filler ( displaced to 5.5 ounces because of the added booster charge ) and used the updated M204A2 fuze.

It is launched by a gunpowder booster charge, giving it an initial speed of 115 meters per second, and creating a cloud of light grey-blue smoke that can give away the position of the shooter.
25.
Still less sensitive materials such as blasting agents like ANFO, or shell fillings like Composition B, are so insensitive that the impulse from the detonator must be amplified by an explosive booster charge to secure reliable detonation.
26.
Pressed, it is relatively insensitive but may be detonated by severe impact, whereas when cast, it is extremely insensitive . mercury fulminate were often used as a detonator, in combination with an explosive booster charge such as tetryl.
27.
Fuzes normally have two explosive components in their explosive train : a very small detonator ( or primer ) struck by a firing pin, and a booster charge at the base of the fuze ( sometimes called the'magazine').
28.
Ashton said Australian investigators believe the blast that devastated the Sari Club in the Balinese town of Kuta was caused by the explosive chlorate and that it was set off by a " booster charge " such as TNT.
29.
An additional economic reason for using explosive booster charges is that chemical compounds used in detonators ( e . g . lead styphnate ) are comparatively expensive to produce and encapsulate when compared to the manufacturing costs of explosive boosters.
30.
On impact with the target, the front of the nose section is crushed causing a microsecond electric current to be generated, which detonates a booster charge located in the base of the warhead, which sets off the main warhead charge.
