black powder shall be rejected.
4.5.2 Sensitivity
4.5.2.1 Nonfunctioning. The primer head shall be assembled
to a suitable fixture. The firing pin of the test fixture shall

plug of the primer. A weight of 2.95 pounds, minimum, shall be
dropped on to the firing pin from a height of 3/16 inch, minimum,
as if to function the primer. The height of drop shall be
measured as the height from the top of the firing pin to the
bottom of the weight. Any primer which functions shall be classed
defective. Primers used in this test shall not be returned to the

an appropriate test fixture. The firing pin of the test fixture
shall be adjusted so that impact will be 0.05 inch off center of
the firing plug of the primer. A weight of 2.95 pound, maximum,
shall be dropped on the firing pin to function the primer from a
height of 1 3/4 inches, maximum. The height of drop shall be
measured as the height from the top of the firing pin to the
