What is a munitions item or component called when its explosive material is completely removed?

The term used to describe a munitions item or component when its explosive material is completely removed is "Empty." This designation indicates that there is no explosive material remaining which could cause a detonation or explosive reaction. The concept of an item being "empty" is crucial in handling and safety protocols within munitions systems, as it clarifies that the item poses no risk of explosion due to the absence of explosive agents.

In contrast, other terms like "Inactive," "Depleted," and "Neutralized" refer to different states of a munitions item. "Inactive" could imply that the item is not currently operational but might still contain explosive material. "Depleted" typically refers to a reduction in the quantity or effectiveness of the explosive material rather than its complete removal. "Neutralized" indicates that the explosive material has been rendered safe, but it does not inherently mean that the item is void of all explosive substances. Thus, "Empty" is the most accurate term for a munitions item that has had all explosive materials removed.
