ABSTRACT:
The breech of a gun moves in opposite, recoil and counter-recoil directions along a guide path. A rotatable coupling member having a first interlocking end is mounted along the fixed structure of the gun. The gun is selectively activated by a rotatable key member aligned with the coupling member, the key member having a second interlocking end adapted to interfit with the first interlocking end on the coupling member. The key member can be axially slid with respect to the coupling member to assume an on-position when it is disengaged from the coupling member, an off-position when it is drivingly engaged with the coupling member, and an intermediate position when only the end surfaces of the interlocking ends of the coupling member and key member are in engagement. Release of the mechanism from the on-position induces the key member to move into the intermediate position, and the counter-recoil motion of the breech induces the key member to move from its intermediate position into its off-position. The mechanism provides for the safe activation and deactivation of an automatic weapon.
