  Unarmed \Un*armed"\, a. [Pref. un- not + armed.]


     1. Not armed or armored; having no arms or weapons.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. (Nat. Hist.) Having no hard and sharp projections, as
        spines, prickles, spurs, claws, etc.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     3. Not in a state in which it may be detonated; unable to be
        detonated; -- used of nuclear and certain other explosive
        devices, which, as a safety precaution, are stored and
        transported in a state in which normal triggering
        mechanisms will not function to cause the device to
        detonate. The weapon must first be armed by a separate
        action, and only subsequent to such arming will the weapon
        be able to detonate.
        [PJC]
