The Eurofighter Typhoon, in service with the British, Spanish, Italian and German air forces, have numerous safety measures to prevent accidental firings. To launch a missile the pilot would first have to rotate the Master Arm Switch to ‘Live’, then operate the Late Arm Switch on the trigger itself. Even then the weapon will not fire unless there is a target already in the jet’s computer, or the pilot has selected ‘dogfight’ mode.
