Abstract

Fuze assembly methods and devices. The methods include providing a firing pin to detonate the projectile; operably connecting a weighted body to the firing pin; and operably connecting a flexural portion to the weighted body to retain position of the weighted body due to centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the projectile to retain the firing pin in a detonation prevention position and move the weighted body to drive the firing pin to a detonation position upon impact of the projectile.
