A trigger mechanism that can be used in AR-pattern firearms has a hammer, a trigger member, a disconnector, a locking member, and a “three position” safety selector having safe, standard semi-automatic, and forced reset semi-automatic positions. In the standard semi-automatic position, rearward movement of the bolt carrier causes rearward pivoting of the hammer such that the disconnector hook catches the hammer hook, at which time a user must manually release the trigger member to free the hammer from the disconnector to permit the hammer and trigger member to pivot to the set positions so that the user can pull the trigger member to fire the firearm. In the forced reset semi-automatic position, rearward movement of the bolt carrier causes rearward pivoting of the hammer causing the trigger member to be forced to the set position, the safety selector preventing the disconnector hook from catching the hammer hook, and thereafter when the bolt carrier reaches the substantially in-battery position the user can pull the trigger member to fire the firearm without manually releasing the trigger member. The locking member is pivotable between a first position at which the locking member mechanically blocks the trigger member from moving to the released position and a second position at which the locking member does not mechanically block the trigger member allowing the trigger member to be moved to the released position. The locking member is spring biased toward the first position and moved against the spring bias to the second position by contact from the bolt carrier during forward movement of the bolt carrier as the bolt carrier reaches a substantially in-battery position.

The various embodiments herein provide a fire restraining device for selective target shooting in a weapon with a safety lock comprises an infrared sensor, a central computing unit, and a rack and pinion or a shot pin module. The infrared sensor detects a temperature of a target in front of a nozzle of the weapon. The infrared sensor is connected to the central computing unit. The infrared sensor sends the temperature data of the target to the central computing unit. The rack and pinion module or the shot pin module is connected with the central computing unit at one side and the safety lock on another end. The present fire restraining device allows a gunner to control the firing shots over a human or unwanted targets which reduces false fatalities in close combats.

A system for improving firearm safety is provided. The system comprises a firearm with a trigger mechanism for firing and a trigger safety member proximate the trigger to prevent accidental firing. The system also comprises a locking assembly associated with the trigger mechanism and safety member comprising a transceiver that receives a message from a remote wireless device. The locking assembly further comprises a motor that activates based on processing of the message received by the transceiver. The locking assembly further comprises an eccentric that executes a first turning motion based on action of the motor.

Provided in various example embodiments is a firing mechanism for firearms including a trigger with a movable sear attached to the trigger. When dimensional interference occurs within the trigger group, the movable sear is displaced from a seated position to an unseated position, instead of moving the trigger out of the non-firing position. This allows a firearm to be cocked when the trigger is locked in safe mode, and allows a firearm to be placed into safe mode at any time, regardless of the position of the hammer. This functionality improves the effectiveness of automatic trigger locking mechanisms discussed in related applications, and may be applied in various forms to firearms generally.
