In order to improve safety, particularly during transportation and/or storage, a system (10) is proposed which at least comprises a housing (13) an explosive (3) held therein which is initiated by a blasting cap (1), wherein a sleeve insert (2, 2′) in the housing (13) makes it possible for the blasting cap (1) to be removed from the explosive (3), in that the blasting cap (1) in the sleeve insert (2, 2′) is height-adjustable, so that the position of the blasting cap (1) relative to the explosive (3) can be changed. The system (10) may include a fuse head (11) which at least comprises a primer cap and possibly a delay line (14). The blasting cap (1) may be an integral part of the fuse head (11) and insulated therewith on the base.
