The unit looks like a miniature 22 shell. 

The flange on the unit indicates the aft end of the switch. 

If used in a body under acceleration (or deceleration) such as a rocket, car, or airplane the switch would react to the force of gravity and close its contacts.

 

For typical rocketry applications, starting a timer or make-wire or break-wire initiation, the 2.1g switch is the most appropriate and widely used switch.

We have also seen the .5g switch used in racing applications as a brake light component.  Rather than using a switch under the brake pedal the .5g switch is mounted in a box covered with red LEDs on the rear of the vehicle with a battery pack.  

As the switch closes when exposed to negative gs the LEDs light up as a normal brake light would.
