Hi Dean, just a shot in the dark on this (sorry for the pun). I have heard of this also. I think what is being referrred to is that the round was fired electrically with the addition of an electrical igniter instead of traditional percussion primer system. They most likely had a test chamber where the round was inserted into a test fixture and fired remotely. I could see this in a bunker type test facility. I could also see this being used in the testing of fuses and or HE type projectiles. If someone else knows better let me know, Chris
