A projectile ( 28 ) for a barrel assembly ( 10 ) containing multiple projectiles ( 28 ) including a propellant charge ( 22 ), a primer ( 23, 26 ) that ignites the propellant charge ( 22 ), a payload ( 28 ) that is propelled from the barrel ( 10 ) on ignition of the charge ( 22 ), and ignition system ( 20, 24, 25 ) having both an electrical ( 20, 24 ) and a mechanical ( 25, 26 ) sub-system either or both of which may be triggered to ignite the primer ( 23 ). The electrical system may involve induction white the mechanical system may involve a solenoid or fully mechanical arrangement, the mechanical system acts as a backup for the electrical system if required.
