1. A diversionary device for setting off multiple cartridges housed within a common container in a timed sequence, comprising: (a) a plurality of firing chambers, with each firing chamber being configured to receive one of said cartridges;(b) a plurality of strikers, with each striker being configured to detonate one of said cartridges when said striker is released from a cocked position;(c) a plurality of retainers, with each retainer being configured to retain one of said strikers in said cocked position;(d) a timing drum, movable between a first position and a second position, said timing drum being urged toward said second position by a timing spring;(e) a piston connected to said timing drum, said piston moving within a delay chamber filled with a delay fluid;(f) said timing drum including a firing slot for each of said retainers; and(g) said firing slots being configured such that said retainers are held against said strikers and thereby retain said strikers in said cocked position when said drum is in said first position, but said firing slots sequentially receive said retainers as said timing drum moves toward said second position thereby sequentially releasing said strikers and creating a desired firing sequence. 2. The diversionary device as recited in claim 1, wherein: (a) said firing chambers and strikers are arranged in a radial array; and(b) said timing drum is in a center of said radial array. 3. The diversionary device as recited in claim 1, wherein: (a) said piston is connected to said timing drum by a rod; and(b) said firing slots run parallel to said rod. 4. The diversionary device as recited in claim 3, wherein said retainers are ball bearings. 5. The diversionary device as recited in claim 4, wherein: (a) each said firing slots is connected to a parallel leader slot; and(b) when said timing drum is in said first position, each of said retainers rests in a leader slot. 6. The diversionary device as recited in claim 4, wherein: (a) each striker rests within a striker bore; and(b) each retainer rests within a hole running transverse to said striker bore. 7. The diversionary device as recited in claim 6, wherein each striker contains a nose and a surrounding shoulder configured to engage one of said ball bearing retainers. 8. The diversionary device as recited in claim 1, wherein said piston includes at least one metering orifice. 9. The diversionary device as recited in claim 1, wherein said first position of said timing drum is selectable by said user, with said selection producing a different delay. 10. The diversionary device as recited in claim 1, further comprising a user-selectable delay device configured to control an initial rate of motion of said drum. 11. A diversionary device for setting off multiple cartridges housed within a common container in a timed sequence, comprising: (a) a plurality of firing chambers, with each firing chamber being configured to receive one of said cartridges:(b) a plurality of strikers, with each striker being configured to detonate one of said cartridges when said striker is released from a cocked position:(c) a plurality of retainers, with each retainer being configured to retain one of said strikers in said cocked position:(d) a timing drum, movable between a first position and a second position, with said motion of said timing drum being controlled to proceed at a desired rate of speed;(e) said timing drum including a firing slot for each of said retainers; and(f) said firing slots being configured such that said retainers are held against said strikers and thereby retain said strikers in said cocked position when said drum is in said first position, but said firing slots sequentially receive said retainers as said timing drum moves toward said second position thereby sequentially releasing said strikers and creating a desired firing sequence. 12. The diversionary device as recited in claim 11, wherein: (a) said firing chambers and strikers are arranged in a radial array; and(b) said timing drum is in a center of said radial array. 13. The diversionary device as recited in claim 11, further comprising: (a) a piston moving through a delay fluid, said piston being connected to said timing drum by a rod; and(b) wherein said firing slots run parallel to said rod. 14. The diversionary device as recited in claim 13, wherein said retainers are ball bearings. 15. The diversionary device as recited in claim 14, wherein: (a) each of said firing slots is connected to a parallel leader slot; and(b) when said timing drum is in said first position, each of said retainers rests in a leader slot. 16. The diversionary device as recited in claim 14, wherein: (a) each striker rests within a striker bore; and(b) each retainer rests within a hole running transverse to said striker bore. 17. The diversionary device as recited in claim 16, wherein each striker contains a nose and a surrounding shoulder configured to engage one of said ball bearing retainers. 18. The diversionary device as recited in claim 13, wherein said piston includes at least one metering orifice. 19. The diversionary device as recited in claim 11, wherein said first position of said timing drum is selectable by said user, with said selection producing a different delay. 20. The diversionary device as recited in claim 11, further comprising a user-selectable delay device configured to control an initial rate of motion of said drum.
