A weapon is capable of firing cased telescoped (CT) ammunition rounds. The weapon includes a barrel, a chamber member that defines a chamber configured to hold a CT round for firing from the weapon, a non-rotating carrier body, and linkage. The linkage is constructed and arranged to move the chamber member (i) from a firing position in which the chamber member is aligned with the barrel for firing the CT round to an ejection/loading position in which the chamber member is not aligned with the barrel for ejecting a spent CT round and receiving a next CT round in response to the non-rotating carrier body moving away from the barrel, and (ii) from the ejection/loading position to the firing position in response to the non-rotating carrier body moving toward the barrel.

A breech block, in particular wedge breech block, having a breech end and a breech wedge. The breech block includes an opener shaft with a rotationally coupled opening lever and an ejector system for pulling out cartridge cases or cartridge bases from the breech block. The ejector system includes at least one ejector and at least one ejector lever. The ejector lever is rotationally movably mounted on the opener shaft and the ejector system has at least one transmission element which transmits a rotational movement of the opening lever to the ejector lever.

A breech block, in particular wedge breech block, having a breech end and a breech wedge. The breech block includes an opener shaft with a rotationally coupled opening lever and an ejector system for pulling out cartridge cases or cartridge bases from the breech block. The ejector system includes at least one ejector and at least one ejector lever. The ejector lever is rotationally movably mounted on the opener shaft and the ejector system has at least one transmission element which transmits a rotational movement of the opening lever to the ejector lever.

An extractor of a firearm is mounted rotatably about a rotation point with an extractor claw in the region of an end of the extractor near the barrel of the firearm and a contact element in the region of an end of the extractor remote from the barrel. An extractor spring biases the extractor in an end position determined when the chamber is empty. Torque-free pulling of a cartridge case is made possible in that the extractor has a protrusion mounted in a pot of the breech. The protrusion's leading edge adjoins an undersurface of the protrusion. The protrusion is mounted on a bottom surface of the pot near the barrel. The protrusion leading edge is supported on a leading edge of the pot near the barrel. The pot leading edge forms the transition from the bottom surface to a boundary wall of the pot near the barrel. The leading edge forms a rotation axis of the extractor, which allows rotation of the extractor relative to the breech.

A breech block, in particular wedge breech block, having a breech end and a breech wedge, comprising an opener shaft with a rotationally coupled opening lever and an ejector system for pulling out cartridge cases or cartridge bases from the breech block, said ejector system comprising at least one ejector and at least one ejector lever, which actuates the ejector, wherein the ejector lever is rotationally movably mounted on the opener shaft and the ejector system has at least one transmission element which transmits a rotational movement of the opening lever to the ejector lever.

Firearms with cartridge-case ejection, including a barrel with a movable bolt carrier with a bolt, with a breech face, with a movable ejector and with a firearm-fixed functional edge which pushes the ejector into its ejection position when the bolt carrier moves back after a shot has been fired. In order to create an ejection that is always evenly performed, an ejector lever is arranged on the bolt carrier so that it can be rotated about a pivot axis running normal to the firearm's central plane, which abuts against the functional edge when the bolt carrier moves backwards and thereby twisted so that it abuts an impact surface of the ejector and forces it to the eject position.
