ABSTRACT:
An automatic firing weapon embodying a support, a weapon housing displaceable relative to the support, a breechblock displaceable in the weapon housing. The breechblock is retained in its rearward position by means of a pawl pivotably mounted at the weapon housing and can be released by means of an actuation lever which pivots the pawl. Further, there is provided a trigger arranged at the support and a guide track for triggering series firing. Apart from the aforementioned guide track there is provided a further, curve-shaped guide track for triggering a rapid individual firing operation and by means of which the pawl, during return movement of the weapon housing, is rocked into the path of the breechblock and during the advancing or forward movement of the weapon housing is rocked out of such path. The trigger can be selectively operatively connected through the intermediary of one of both guide tracks and via the actuation lever with the pawl with the aid of a switching mechanism.
