DeathWeapon
As a concept
When some units are destroyed they explode, potentially damaging surrounding objects. This effect is achieved in-game by setting Explodes=yes on the unit - this tells the game to fire a weapon at the cell previously occupied by the destroyed unit. See the flags below for how that 'death weapon' is determined.

Specifies the death weapon↑ to use when a unit with Explodes=yes set is destroyed.
DeathWeapon on the unit overrides any other method for determing the death weapon↑ to use.
Notes
Firing a DeathWeapon will prevent the animations listed in an object's Explosion statement being played when that object is destroyed. However, if Explodes=yes has been set, but no DeathWeapon statement is present, the animations will be played normally.
