In order to prevent removal of the device by applying force to the muzzle end of the device locking pins (14) are mounted in radial bores (11) to be driven radially outwardly by a tapered piston (18) if the piston is driven away from the muzzle end. An explosvie cartridge (23) is detonated by a firing pin (25) if force is applied to an end plate (26) thereby driving the piston in the desired manner.
