Gun with a delay function

Abstract

Delayed action magazine-based self-loading firearm with gas piston action. Delay action prevents the movement of the self-loading firearm's slide and lock during the actual shot and will keep them closed. The construction of the delayed action stores the energy from the powder gas either mechanically or pneumatically, to be used later for the operation of the firearm's load-lock mechanism. The delayed action mechanism of a delayed action firearm consists of the body (E) and a guide (C) with its openings (D) placed inside it, through which the high-pressure powder gas escapes through the firearm's barrel (A) onward to the gas piston (F), which moves pierced by a pole (H), with the pole (H) being attached to the bottom piece (I). A spring (G) may be connected to the pole (H), with the pressure of the powder gas compressing either the spring (G) or alternatively the air by the gas piston (F) against the bottom piece (I). The retainer (K) stops the gas piston (F) into its back position leaving the spring (G) or air into compression. Through the action of the shooter or a separate automatic mechanism on the releaser (M) the bottom piece (I) is allowed to dash backwards with the help of the spring (G) or air. The bottom piece (I) is fixed to the firearm's slide (O), which uses the firearm's load and lock mechanism to perform the cartridge case removal and loading actions.
