Abstract

A cocking device for a firing pin spring of a firing pin of a weapon, the firing pin being integrated into a breech. This firing pin spring is cocked during the pre-run of the control slide, by means of a cocking slide on the weapon, said cocking slide having a cocking curve, in which a pin of a cocking rocker is engaged.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A weapon comprising:
a breech that linearly feeds ammunition to a cartridge chamber of the weapon with a cocking device for a firing pin spring of a firing pin of the weapon, the firing pin being integrated in the breech, the cocking device comprising:
a cocking slide arranged on the weapon, the cocking slide comprising a cocking cam; and
a pin of a cocking rocker, which performs a tensioning of the firing pin spring, the firing pin spring being tensioned during advancement of a control carriage,

wherein the firing pin is secured by a safety device.

2. The weapon as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the safety device is adapted to be engaged and disengaged by way of a control rocker and an elevator, wherein the control rocker and a locking latch of the weapon functionally interact such that, with the breech locked, the safety device is disengaged and, with the breech unlocked, the safety device is engaged.

3. The weapon as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the safety device acts on a spring chamber of the firing pin at a clearance provided in the firing pin.

4. A weapon comprising:
a breech that linearly feeds ammunition to a cartridge chamber of the weapon with a cocking device for a firing pin spring of a firing pin of the weapon, the firing pin being integrated in the breech, the cocking device comprising:
a cocking slide arranged on the weapon, the cocking slide comprising a cocking cam; and
a pin a cocking rocker, which performs a tensioning of the firing pin spring, the firing pin spring being tensioned during advancement of a control carriage,

wherein, for firing a shot, a trigger and a catching pawl which can be actuated by the cocking slide are incorporated, for which purpose the cocking slide has a ramp.

5. The weapon as claimed in claim 4 , wherein a catching edge of the trigger lies against a catching edge of the catching pawl, so that the catching pawl is blocked by the trigger as long as the catching edge of the trigger engages under the catching edge of the catching pawl.

6. The weapon as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the catching pawl is tensioned by a spring of the trigger.

7. The weapon as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the catching pawl is incorporated before a nose of the firing pin and prevents triggering of the firing pin until a complete locking of the breech.

8. A weapon comprising:
a breech that linearly feeds ammunition to a cartridge chamber of the weapon with a cocking device for a firing pin spring of a firing pin spring of the weapon, the firing pin being integrated in the breech, the cocking device comprising:
a cocking slide arranged on the weapon, the cocking slide comprising a cocking cam; and
a pin of a cocking rocker, which performs a tensioning of the firing pin spring, the firing pin spring being tensioned during advancement of a control carriage,

wherein the cocking slide is connected to the control carriage such that the control carriage carries along the cocking slide during advancement of the breech and during return of the breech.
