Abstract
Abstract There is disclosed a combination of a signal-receiving system and a hand weapon. The signal-receiving system is incorporated in the hand weapon and includes a signal-receiving unit for receiving a coded signal and an evaluating unit connected to the signal-receiving unit for receiving the coded signal therefrom, for processing the coded signal and for emitting an actuating signal as a function of the coded signal for affecting operationally essential elements of the hand weapon.
