Abstract (en)

[origin: CA3125375A1] The present invention relates to a weapon and to a method for operating a weapon of this kind. The weapon comprises an explosive charge, an activatable detonation ignition means, an activatable deflagration ignition means, and an ignition device. The ignition device is able to activate, selectively, the detonation ignition means or the deflagration ignition means. The activated detonation ignition means is able to cause the explosive charge to detonate. The activated deflagration ignition means is able to cause the same explosive charge to deflagrate. According to the method, the ignition device activates the detonation ignition means. The activated detonation ignition means causes the explosive charge to detonate. If a predetermined event takes place without the explosive charge having been previously detonated, the ignition device activates the deflagration ignition means. The activated deflagration ignition means causes the explosive charge to deflagrate.
