Abstract
The invention provides an electrical igniter for an adaptive cartridge of a subcaliber barrel system by which the firing pin extension (12) is arranged axially movable by means of a guide (13) made of an electrically non-conductive material. A slide valve (22) grips a safety rod (17) in the guide (13). The safety rod (17) is situated adjacent the breech mechanism (6) only such that the firing pin (12) borders on the percussion cap (29) of the cartridge (11). By an open breech mechanism (6) the safety rod (17), under spring tension, is moved in the direction of the cartridge (11) together with the firing pin (12).
