Abstract
A weapon may comprise an explosive charge, an activatable detonation ignition means, an activatable deflagration ignition means, and an ignition device. The ignition device can activate, selectively, the detonation ignition means or the deflagration ignition means. The activated detonation ignition means can cause the explosive charge to detonate. The activated deflagration ignition means can cause the explosive charge to deflagrate. According to one method, the ignition device activates the detonation ignition means, which causes the explosive charge to detonate. If a predetermined event takes place without the explosive charge detonating, the ignition device activates the deflagration ignition means, which causes the explosive charge to deflagrate.
