A firing mechanism (25) for activation of a pneumatic stored energy system having a motor (50) connected to a vessel (20) by a tether, the vessel (20) containing a pressurised fluid. Activation of the motor (50) causes the tether to wind, applying a linear force to an attachment region of the vessel, fracturing the vessel (20) to release the pressurised fluid thereby activating the pneumatic stored energy system.
