A propellant-charge pack has an annular envelope having an outer wall extending along and centered on an axis, a pair of axially spaced end walls extending transversely inward from the axis and having inner peripheries centered on the axis, and an inner wall defining a clear axially throughgoing passage between the inner peripheries of the end walls. The envelope is generally axially symmetrical about the axis, that is it is formed as a body of revolution or of regular polygonal section, and is substantially symmetrical to a plane perpendicular to the axis midway between the end walls. A relatively easily ignited primar charge forms a part of the inner wall symmetrical of the plane and a propellant charge fills the envelope between the walls outward of the inner wall. The primar charge is of such high combustibility, compared to the diameter of the passage, that the entire primar charge, even of a stack of such packs, will be ignited before they burn through and set off the respective propellant charges.

A propellant-charge module with a primer charge and a pair of opposite ends and a combustible envelope, comprising in combination, (a) the propellant-charge module having a coaxial clear detonating passage extending over its entire module length; (b) said detonating passage being mainly formed by the primer charge and being symmetrically arranged with respect to the end walls of said module; (c) the inner diameter of the detonation passage being such that the propagation of the ignition blast along the entire length of the charge is faster than that propagating radially through said primer charge; (d) said detonation passage being formed by a tubular surface which is formed by a one-piece integrated primer charge; (e) said tubular surface being made of material selected from extruded porous nitrocellulose or a mixture of nitrocellulose and a further agent.
