The invention relates to a bolt stop for an automatic firearm comprising a bolt stop lever that can be moved between a release position and a catch position, and a locking device that can be moved between a standby position and a locking position, for selectively securing the bolt stop lever in the release position, wherein the locking device is disengaged with the bolt stop lever when in the standby position, and is engaged in with the bolt stop lever when in the locking position, the bolt stop lever deactivated in the locking position.

A safety apparatus for a grenade launcher assembly which provides a dual-way ammunition feed, recognizes the direction automatically without the importance of which direction the user opens the handle in order to prevent the direction selector or movement from reversing and which does not permit opening to the other unselected side for the filling-off phase.

This disclosure relates to weapon receivers, profile rails, and weapons. According to one example, a receiver for a self-loading firearm, includes a first guide track within which a loading lever can be moved to move a loading tube that can be brought into contact with, or is in contact with a breechblock; a second guide track connected to the first guide track, wherein the loading lever can be shifted to the second guide track via a first opening in the receiver to move the loading tube, such that the loading lever can be operated ambidextrously. Other examples are contemplated.

A pistol comprises a frame with a slide operable to reciprocate on the frame. A trigger movably connected to the frame to move between a forward position and rear position, and a block element selectably interfacing with the slide and movable between a released position in which the slide is enabled to reciprocate and a locked position in which the slide is prevented from reciprocation. The block element is operably engaged to the trigger to move to the locked position when the trigger is in the rear position, such that the slide does not recoil after discharge when the trigger is held to the rear position.

forward closed breech position in battery with the barrel and rearward open breech position, a cockable hammer controlled by a trigger, and a bolt release mechanism operably interacting with the bolt. The mechanism may comprise a user-actuated release button and spring-biased disconnect lever coupled thereto and selectively engageable with the hammer. Upon firing, the bolt travels rearward under recoil contacting and partially rotating the disconnect lever to engage the hammer, while simultaneously engaging the hammer which holds the bolt rearward. Actuating the release button fully rotates the disconnect lever to disengage the hammer from the bolt which returns to its forward position via a recoil spring to reclose the breech. A dual interlock safety in one position provided by the release mechanism prevents pulling the trigger and in another position prevents actuating the release button.

A device for driving mechanical safety systems. The device contains a housing in which at least one moving piston is arranged. The piston is connected to a first toothed rack and the first toothed rack is operatively connected to a pinion. A second toothed rack is arranged for movement in the housing. As a result, the second toothed rack is displaced in the opposite direction to the movement of the piston. The device has a locking lever and a shift dog. The shift dog is mounted on the second toothed rack and is arranged such that, on movement of the second toothed rack, the shift dog can actuate the locking lever. A locking bush secures the securing shaft to be driven. The locking bush is initially transferred to an unlocked position on movement of the toothed racks and is returned to a locked position on conclusion of the movement.
