The hand firing lever and rod is the simple mechanical hand method for firing the weapon when the electric solenoid is not working, typically used only as a backup firing mechanism. If you look closely, you will see that the firing rod is attached to the center pin of the electric firing solenoid, so using either one will actuate the firing lever and set off the percussion cap inside the shell when the gun is loaded and fired. 2, record 3, English, - electric%20firing%20solenoid

Pour la mise à feu électrique, on se sert du courant délivré par des exploseurs ou prélevé sur le réseau d'éclairage. Les conducteurs des détonateurs sortant des trous sont reliés aux conducteurs de la source d'énergie électrique, en série, en parallèle ou en groupe. Une liaison mixte peut être réalisée de deux façons différentes : parallèle-série et série-parallèle. Dans le dernier cas, dans chaque groupe les détonateurs électriques sont reliés en série et les groupes ainsi constitués sont reliés aux conducteurs principaux en parallèle. Le choix de l'un des deux moyens ci-dessus, lors d'une mise à feu électrique, dépend de la tension du courant et de la résistance du réseau; le branchement est fait de telle sorte que le courant circulant dans chaque détonateur ne soit pas inférieur à 2,5 A. Le détonateur pourrait ne pas exploser avec un courant d'intensité inférieure. 5, record 5, French, - mise%20%C3%A0%20feu%20%C3%A9lectrique
