    a muzzle alignment tube having a passageway therethrough and being operatively attached to the second end of said electrically conductive housing member, said muzzle alignment tube being structured to be capable of being inserted into the bore of the barrel;

    sealing means positioned around said muzzle alignment tube at a predetermined position to minimize gas being propelled down said bore from passing between the muzzle alignment tube and the bore and to prevent the muzzle alignment tube from being pushed out of said bore by said gas;

    a chamber formed in the second end of said electrically conductive housing member and having an entry port to receive gas propelled down said bore and said muzzle alignment tube;

    energy emitting means disposed in said electrically conductive housing member and positioned to emit energy from said first end of said electrically conductive housing member when activated;

    a power source disposed within said electrically conductive housing member and connected to said energy emitting means; and

    energy activation means positioned within said electrically conductive housing member and electrically connected to complete an electrical circuit through said energy emitting means, said electrically conductive housing member, said power source and said energy activation means when said energy activation means is activated to the on position when said gas enters said chamber.
