A trigger mechanism for an automatic weapon which has a bolt carrier recicatably mounted in a receiver and biased to slide from a recoiled position to a firing position. The mechanism has a hammer positioned alongside the bolt carrier and pivotally mounted on the receiver for reciprocating between a retracted and a striking position. Also included are a bias spring, a trigger and a catch. The trigger is rotatably mounted on the receiver while the bias spring is attached to the hammer for urging it into a striking position. The catch is connected between the trigger and the hammer for releasably holding the hammer. The catch can retract the hammer in response to rotation of the trigger. The bolt carrier has a stop for engaging the hammer and holding the bolt carrier at its recoiled position. The catch is operable to release the bolt carrier from the stop by retracting the hammer. The bolt carrier also has a shoulder positioned for engaging the catch and causing it to release the hammer as the bolt carrier arrives at the firing position.
