A gun is provided with an electronically fired cartridge. The cartridge includes a primer cap with a heat sensitive primer therein. A fuse wire of appropriate electrical resistance extends through the primer, and a pair of contacts are affixed with a gun to provide a voltage to the fuse wire in order to cause a flow of current through the fuse wire to ignite the primer. An electric circuit is provided on the gun body for supplying electric power to the contacts. The circuit includes a switch, a battery, and first and second contacts which are in electrical communication with the fuse wire when the cartridge is in the gun.

A gun and cartridge assembly, comprising: a gun body, including a barrel; a removable cartridge received within the barrel, the cartridge including a chamber with an explosive and a primer cap with a heat sensitive primer therein ignitable for igniting said explosive, and an electrically resistant fuse wire having first and second ends and contained within the primer cap for igniting the primer, wherein the primer cap is in contact with the explosive and includes apertures formed therethrough to facilitate ignition of the explosive; and an electric circuit in the gun body for providing electric current to the fuse wire, the circuit comprising: a switch positionable for opening and closing the circuit, the switch being in electrical communication with one of said first and second ends of the fuse wire; an electrical power source including first and second terminals, one of said terminals being in electrical communication with the switch; and a first contact in electrical communication with the other of said terminals and further in electrical communication with the other of said first and second ends of the fuse wire; whereby electric power traveling through the fuse wire will ignite the heat sensitive primer when said switch is positioned in one of said opening and closing positions.
