The central channel represents pressed mixture of the main pyrotechnic composition with an irritant. The igniter of the main pyrotechnic element is made in the form of two igniting pyrotechnic elements of cylindrical shape, which represent pressed ignition compositions. The first igniting pyrotechnic element is fixed on an end face part of the main pyrotechnic element along the whole of its surface on the side of rear bottom with a gap in relation to the bottom.
