ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a firing pin and hammer assembly for a fire arm, especially a self-loading fire arm with a closed breech of a submachine gun, the assembly comprising a firing pin capable of being moved from a rest position at which its end is positioned in the travel path of a hammer, to a priming position; a firing pin spring for moving the firing pin into its rest position; a catch (14) capable of being moved by a catch spring engaging the firing pin while the firing pin is in its rest position, and holding the same; and a release assembly cooperating with the hammer and releasing the catch from engagement with the firing pin when the hammer approaches the end of its travel path. The object is to prevent any movement of the firing pin unless the hammer is released. According to the invention, the release assembly is permanently coupled to the hammer for preventing an untimely and excessively forceful operation of the release assembly.
