A weapon having a barrel cluster, having at least one, preferably multiple, weapon barrel(s) and comprising a bolt, wherein only one of the weapon barrels is oriented in alignment with the single bolt and interacts therewith for the purposes of firing. The barrel cluster has a front, muzzle-side barrel holder and has a rear, bolt-side barrel holder, and has, in a partial region, a control body with a control cam which is incorporated on the circumference. By way of said control cam, the barrel cluster can be adjusted as a whole and independently of the firing of the weapon. The control body is preferably electronically rotated, for which purpose a pin of the actuaor engages into the control cam of the control body.
