Well, I have used a taser and a length of speaker wire to fire one of my old guns from a distance before. Works pretty well. The speaker wire I used was like 18gauge, and ran about $6. And you can get a taser as low as about $15 shipped if you get it off eBay. Out of your pricerange, but the stun gun can be used as a primary form of ignition afterwards.
E-matches sound like a good idea. But the ones you get from Estes rocket engines suck since they break too easily, and cost too muck. I like to make my own. They are very similar to the ones in the following link, except I sometimes use a single strand of coarse steel instead of the Ni-Chrome she uses.

You can also try using an alarm clock. I got one for 7 dollars. Just pull the case apart and find the speaker. Cut the wires right at the speaker and connect the hot (red or black) wire to the + side of a 9V battery. Connect a wire to the - side of the battery, and attach it to one screw in your gun. Connect the negative (white or possibly yellow) wire from the clock to the other screw and set the timer. When the timer reaches zero, it will close the circuit and make a spark. This should work fine, but there are 2 possible problems. The power of one 9V battery plus the AA battery in your clock might not be enough to get a good spark. You could use more batteries, connected in series, but then you run the risk of having the spark inside the clock. And you have no killswitch. When you set the clock, the only way to turn it off is to actually be standing next to it and press the off button. You probably don't want to be standing next to the gun, since being far away is the whole reason you would use the clock in the first place.
Ummm if the gun fired then what is wrong with being next to it?Tshylea wrote:You can also try using an alarm clock. I got one for 7 dollars. Just pull the case apart and find the speaker.
