Abstract
An electromechanical firing mechanism having a stack of piezoelectric elements arranged to move a firing pin by switching the piezoelectric material from a static state to an electrically charged state. The electromechanical firing mechanism is comprised of a bolt housing a striker and a firing pin. The bolt further includes a base plate and a center axis whereby the firing pin is moveable along that axis. The striker has a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end is fixed to a base plate and the proximal end is coupled to the firing pin. The striker consists of a stack of piezoelectric elements. A control circuit and battery is electrically connected to the piezoelectric materials for switching and powering the piezoelectric material from a static state to an electrically charged state. The stack of piezoelectric elements moves the firing pin into the primer of the cartridge when electrically charged.
