Procedure for Manufacturing FireBolts Version II

Purpose

FireBolts, a term coined by the Team, are 1/4-20 bolts with E-matches glued in. They are used in Tender Descender modifications and also to ignite pyrotechnically operated pistons on the Team.

There are two types of FireBolts. Standard FireBolts (simply called FireBolts) have one e-match glued in. They are used when there are redundant separation devices (e.g. Tender Descenders). FireBolt Jumbos have two e-matches glued in. They are used when there is only one separation device with only one propellant charge (e.g. HADES piston or AARDs).
