As a concept

When some units are destroyed they explode, potentially damaging surrounding objects. This effect is achieved in-game by setting Template:TTL on the object - this tells the game to fire a weapon at the cell previously occupied by the destroyed unit. See the flags below for how that 'death weapon' is determined.

For [CombatDamage]

Flag:	DeathWeapon
File(s):	rules(md).ini
Values:	Strings: Normal text. (Limited to: Weapons)
Default:	none
Applicable to:	CombatDamage

Specifies the default death weapon^↑ to use when a unit with Template:TTL set is destroyed. This is only used if the exploding unit does not have a current primary weapon (see Template:TTL for how this may be determined) and has not specified its own DeathWeapon^↓.

For TechnoTypes

Flag:	DeathWeapon
File(s):	rules(md).ini
Values:	Strings: Normal text. (Limited to: Weapons)
Default:	none
Applicable to:	TechnoTypes

Specifies the death weapon^↑ to use when this unit is destroyed in-game (assuming that this unit also has Template:TTL set). Note that DeathWeapon on the unit overrides any other method^↑ for determing the death weapon^↑ to use.
