Abstract:
For use in an automatic self-loading weapon, an apparatus comprising:a trigger assembly which, when its motion is unimpeded, will release a single round for each actuation of an associated trigger;a first lever in operative engagement with the trigger assembly, the first lever having a first state wherein the first lever moves with the trigger assembly without impeding the motion thereof such that the trigger assembly will release a single round for each actuation of the associated trigger, the first lever having a second state wherein the first lever is secured against movement to thereby impede at least one movement of the trigger assembly such that the trigger assembly will release two rounds for each actuation of the associated trigger;a catch in operative engagement with the first lever to selectively convert the state of the first lever between the first and the second states; andan actuator in operative engagement with the catch, wherein when the first lever is in the second state during a first shot, the actuator and the catch cooperate to convert the state of the first lever from the second state to the first state to thereby ensure that only two rounds are released for a single actuation of the trigger.
