Abstract
A firearm, for example a semiautomatic weapon, in particular an automatic pistol, has control elements for controlling several operation or adjustment functions of the weapon. By means of an easily exchangeable functional element, for example a cam disk, it is possible to determine which operation or adjustment function, among all functions made possible by the weapon control elements, the user can set at his weapon. The functional element and/or a component for holding the functional element is designed and arranged in such a way that it can not only be easily fitted in and removed from the firearm not disassembled or only disassembled into its main parts, but also replaced by another type of functional element.
