One-shot type testing of hot bridgewire explosive cartridges provides the weakest possible firing characteristic data. One-shot type testing includes the Bruceton and the Probit methods, and all their off-shoots. One-shot testing is used for only one reason: the fear of 'dudding.' Modern programmable power supplies and oscilloscopes can now be used to obtain data with no fear of dudding. Any continued use of these old, one-shot type test methods is irresponsible behavior. Our society deserves better testing methods and will get them through the courts if we cannot make these changes on our own.
