Traditions Performance Firearms Cannon Fuse - 15-Foot Spool - Water Resistant, Controlled 30 Seconds-Per-Foot Burn Rate - For Muzzleloading & Black Powder Cannons - Item A1264
Product Description
If you are staging or firing a recreational black powder mini-cannon or historical muzzleloading artillery piece, using inconsistent or unprotected hobbyist ignition lines can introduce major safety hazards to your range section. Raw or low-grade quick-match lines can spark prematurely, burn unevenly, or absorb environmental humidity on your staging bench, leading to dangerous hangfires or sudden misfires. The **Traditions® Performance Firearms Cannon Fuse (A1264)** is specifically engineered to eliminate these dangerous variables, providing a controlled, predictable ignition source for historical shooting enthusiasts.
Proudly formulated and braided to match rigorous performance safety guidelines, this high-grade 15-foot black powder cannon fuse is manufactured with a core of premium, high-density ignition powder wrapped in a tightly woven yarn protective layer. The entire cord is encased in a specialized **water-resistant lacquer coating** that actively repels early morning grass dew, high humidity, and accidental moisture drops while on your workbench. This durable jacket ensures the ignition flame travels smoothly inside the core without shorting out. Calibrated to a reliable, uniform burn rate of **approximately 30 seconds per foot**, it gives you a clear, predictable safety window to step back to a safe tracking distance before the main black powder charge ignites.
Measuring a uniform 1/8" (approx. 3mm) in diameter, this green-coated safety fuse slides cleanly into standard artillery touchholes or vent paths, delivering uncompromised reliability during live-fire historical demonstrations.
