Primers are cups which generally include pimer explosive and are the first step of explosive trains. Despite their different type and desing, they can be classified as “electrical” and “percussion” functionally (Yıldırım, 2013). Electrical primers are activated by electric current and include primer explosive which is affected by electric current and conducting wire which cunducts the current to the primer explosive (Matyas ve Pachman, 2013).In this study, the effects of the resistance wires used in the design of the tank ammunition primers on the activation time of the primers were examined. The primers are designed in different configurations and subjected to function time tests and it has been tried to show how different designs affect time.
