Abstract
A rifle has a shoulder support and at least one barrel connected to the shoulder support. A trigger is provided and a chamber is arranged behind the trigger when looking in a direction from a front end of the barrel toward the shoulder support. A movable breechblock has a closed position in which the chamber is closed off. At least one firing pin for firing a cartridge inserted into the chamber when the trigger is triggered is provided. A coupling mechanism connects the shoulder support or a swivel arm to the breechblock. The breechblock is movable by a pivot movement of the shoulder support or the swivel arm transmitted by the coupling mechanism. An axis of rotation of the shoulder support or the swivel arm is arranged within a space delimited by the breechblock and the trigger viewed across a length of the rifle.
Claims21
A rifle comprising:
- a shoulder support;
- two barrels connected to the shoulder support arranged over and under and defining a top barrel and a bottom barrel;
- a trigger;
- a chamber arranged behind the trigger when looking in a direction from a front end of the barrels toward the shoulder support;
- a movable breechblock having a closed position in which the chamber is closed off;
- at least one firing pin for firing a cartridge inserted into the chamber when the trigger is triggered;
- a coupling mechanism connecting at least one of the shoulder support and a swivel arm to the breechblock, wherein the breechblock is movable by a pivot movement of at least one the shoulder support and the swivel arm transmitted by the coupling mechanism onto the breechblock;
- and
- wherein an axis of rotation of at least one of the shoulder support and the swivel arm is arranged within a space delimited by the breechblock and the trigger when viewed across a length of the rifle;
- wherein the breechblock comprises a movable block for blocking a transmission of a movement of a trigger bolt of the trigger, caused by triggering the trigger, onto the at least one firing pin.
