Système de percussion centrale à cartouche combustible, inventé par Dreyse et apparu avec le fusil prussien Mle 1841, dit «fusil à aiguille». Dans cette arme, un long et mince percuteur, en forme d’aiguille, traverse le culot de papier de la cartouche et sa charge de poudre pour aller frapper l'amorce placée à l'arrière du sabot de carton supportant la balle. Cette aiguille avait le défaut d’être très fragile et rapidement détériorée par les gaz de combustion. 1, record 5, French, - percussion%20%C3%A0%20aiguille
