Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0816792A2] The firearm can be changed over between continuous firing and the firing of single rounds, having a hammer (13) with hammer spring and first and second locking notches (17,19), being movable between the released and fully-cocked positions. Rearwards movement of the breech-block (7) cocks the hammer, and controls a continuous-firing mechanism (23) working with the first notch (17). A pivoting trigger (33) spring-loaded into a forward rest position has an engagement lug (39). The trigger lever (43) slides and pivots, and is spring-loaded (53) against the hammer, engaging in the second notch (19) in the latter, releasing it on actuation. After release and re-cocking the spring re-engages it with the second notch. A changeover mechanism (55,61) prevents trigger engagement in this notch, so that the hammer is only actuated by the continuous-firing mechanism, which releases it when the breech is shut. A component (61) of the changeover mechanism engages with the trigger, preventing it moving forwards. The trigger moves for the same distance, whether firing single shots or continuously.
