ABSTRACT:
An improved automatic pistol is provided with a lever mechanism which causes operation as a burst-firing arm in a safe and reliable manner. This is achieved by forming the disconnector, which releases the sear, with a chamfered and bent end, opposite to the end engaging said sear, in order to co-operate with a trigger bar which has two degrees of freedom in the usual repeating operation, and which is connected in an articulated manner to the pistol trigger. Through a 90.degree. rotation of a selector member, a should on the trigger bar allows the trigger bar only one degree of freedom thus causing the disconnector, which is pivotedly mounted on the reciprocating breech mechanism, to enter into a tangential, instead of perpendicular contact through its bent and chamfered end with the trigger bar. Thus, the disconnector enables continuous firing of the pistol as long as the trigger remains is pressed. The breech mechanism is provided with a number of air intakes and is preferably of frusto-pyramidal shape for cooling the piston barrel.
