ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a small-arm for firing shot ammunition, the shot ammunition having a propelling charge and an explosive charge. Separate igniters are provided for each of the charges. An ignition means is coupled to a trigger unit for operating the propelling charge igniter and the explosive charge igniter with different time intervals. The time intervals are automatically selected as a function of range between the small-arm and the target. In this way, the disintegration of the ammunition occurs as close to the target as possible.
