I may have found the best ignition ever! My spudgun use the flash from a disposable camera wired into the "sparkplug" of the spudgun. You will need to break off the flash bulb and soder wires from the 2 spots that went into the flash and wire them thru a switch "Doorbell Switch owns good trigger" and the "sparkplug". Just dont shock yourself, it hurts really badly (use electrical tape.) The spark is very big, sparks WILL shower out the back when chamber is open.

The chamber opening is the back where the cap comes off.
