An electronic weapon system includes a terminal for a local stun function, a deployment unit for a remote stun function, and a barrier, removal of which during deployment enables a circuit for the remote stun function that includes the terminal. A method performed by an electronic weapon includes: (a) enabling a stimulator of the weapon to provide a current; (b) in response to a first operator control of the weapon, and when proximate to target tissue, passing the current through a first circuit that includes the target tissue; (c) blocking a second circuit of the weapon with a barrier of the weapon; (d) in response to a second operator control of the weapon, propelling an electrode of the weapon to a remote target, reducing blocking by the barrier, and passing the current via the second circuit that includes the electrode and the target tissue; and (e) in response to a second operation of the first operator control, and if proximate to target tissue, passing the current through the target tissue via the first circuit instead of passing the current through the second circuit, and if not proximate to target tissue, passing the current via the second circuit through the electrode and through the target tissue.

What is claimed is: 1. An electronic weapon comprising:a. a stimulator that provides a current;b. a first conductor, coupled to the stimulator, that supports a first ionized pathway for conducting the current to perform a local stun function and that supports a second ionized pathway for conducting the current to perform a remote stun function;c. an electrode;d. a propellant to propel the electrode for the remote stun function;e. a second conductor, coupled to the electrode; andf. a barrier comprising a first side and a second side, whereinthe first conductor is adjacent the first side;the second conductor is adjacent the second side; andprior to operation of the propellant, the barrier blocks ionization of the second ionized pathway from the first conductor to the second conductor.
