    That reminds me I wanted to build a firecracker shotgun. Still haven’t figured out a sleek way to ignite them though.

      Very rich fuel air mixture and a spark igniter?

      Safer and less fun way, heating element.

      I made a firecracker gun out of lego technics when i was young. The munition was a firecracker too, was pretty fun.

      I’m sure an internal striker could be engineered with some metal bits, maybe a 3D printer, and parts of a zippo lighter. Just shooting from the hip, but I bet there is someone with the knowledge and the time, if you brought the idea up to the correct forums.

        My idea was glueing some copper wire to the bottom of the fuse and using a battery powered ignition mechanism but maybe I’m overthinking it 😅

          Perhaps a door mouse could be trained to strike a match before retreating safely to a secondary chamber?
