Peter, From what I can gather from the use of the Mk54 Handheld Firing Device, the Mk23, Mk24, and Mk25 Initiator, Pyrotechnic Lead(s) screw in to it to ignite/initiate various pyrotechnic leads (time fuse, shock tube, etc.). The Mk54 is pretty much a modified pen-flare gun which uses the Mk23, etc. for the ignition component. Cheers, Bruce.
