hmmm...that sounds like a plausable idea...but it would be very expensive to use them for ignitors because u wpuld have to buy those tips for them and u would use one tip per ignition...and what if it fails to work the first time and how would u keep changing the tips??
4" piston valved cannon-half done..( i spilt my cement...)
Hybrid- 75% done. need to build propane holder and drill/tap sparkplug hole..

No way! They're too expensive for multiple shots and are not very consistent.

no. they cost money to buy each one. which is a wast of money in my opinion especially with all the other options like bbq ignightors. all the way up to stun guns

thats basically what i jsut said...but anyway these seem like a way better way to ignite a chamber..maybe some rich person could try it...

see i got a bunch from when i use to do model rockets! i wanna make a remote box with wires running to theIgniter so i dont have to stand near the spud gun!! i would use a bbq Igniter but i dont know how much wire i can run before it quits sparking!

Dude I tryed it 
and it SUCKED HORRIBLY and there to damn expesive I just used one I had lying aroundand ...well... IT SUCKS because you have to have the two ignition wires touching for it to work properlly.

Like brooner115 said (well sort of). Rocket ignitors work fine but;
1. They are expensive (well, tens of cents per shot anyway)
2. They are kind of a PITA to change for each shot.
A piezo sparker is simpler, works as well, you can place the spark wherever you want in the chamber (try getting a rocket ignitor at the center of the chamber). Of course, the intial cost is higher for a piezo (unless you cannabalize something).

I don't mean making the cannons explode, I mean making "firecrackers" explode. The mods are kinda up tight about that stuff so I won't go into it any further.
