ABSTRACT Unexploded shells are dangerous in that the projectile ma be detonated by the wrong handling or even simply by moving it. Compressed springs (16, 35) in the fuse mechanism which may be disturbed and trigger ignition are particularly dangerous. The present invention provides a fuse mechanism which uses two primer capsules (12, 13) with one of the primer capsules being carried on a slide member. The firing pin for the second capsule passes through an opening in the slide member so that if the slide member is only partially displaced detonation of a second capsule can, nevertheless, be achieved. This results in the detonation of both primer capsules although the shell itself does not explode. It is then left in a safer condition for disassembly.
