Electrical edit
This section confuses and mixes "Electrical [sic] Triggers" and Electric Primers. An electric trigger still propels a firing pin into whatever priming system the cartridge uses, it just does it using an electric servo instead of a spring, an an electric contact made by the trigger, as opposed to a mechanical release made by the trigger. An electric primer uses electricity to ignite the primary explosive (as with an M50 20mm round), or even ignites the propellant directly (like the Voere VEC-91), without aid of a mechanical striker impacting the primer. I will rename change this setion to reflect this. BBODO (talk) 21:30, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
