ABSTRACT:
A circuit arrangement is provided for firing dummy target sub-members from a cartridge barrel in a freely selectable chronological sequence by igniting ejection charges respectively permanently connected via an electrical ignitor to an ignition circuit and to a respective sub-munition. The ignition circuit--in the condition of the cartridge when it is loaded with sub-munitions arranged above one another--has switch-connection modules, each of which is respectively connected to a sub-munition to provide a series connection. A switch/connection module is a component part of a sub-munition unit to be fired which also has an electrical ignitor, an ejection charge and a sub-munition. The ignition circuit, due to the pluggability of the sub-munition units of the switch/connection modules, can be matched to the respective loading condition of the cartridge such that the ignition circuit automatically forwards an ignition pulse supplied to the cartridge to the ignitor of the respectively uppermost sub-munition unit arranged closest to the mouth of the cartridge.
