I have cut the shunt in this photo which arms the pyro. Remember
the Gwiz is up and
running through this whole procedure. Cutting the shunt should
only take place while the
rocket is in the tower and launch is imminent. Cutting the shunt
early increases
your chances of doing harm immensely.
Should the rocket need to be recycled in case of igniter or other failure,
peel off the tape,
strip the ends of the shunt wires, and twist the ends together recreating
the shunt.
The rocket is then safe again to move.
