Abstract:
A fire arm having an automatic or manual cycle, and wherein a forward ejection of a spent cartridge casing or an ejection of such casing is produced, said fire arm comprising:a frame; a barrel mounted on said frame, said barrel including a fire chamber; and mobile elements which are arranged to move backward in relation to the frame during recoil; said mobile elements comprising: an extractor operable to engage and carry along a casing during recoil motion of the mobile elements and a closing element to close the fire chamber; said fire arm further including an ejection device having an ejector mounted in said closing element, and a guiding device which guides a spent casing during the recoil of the mobile elements and during extraction, and which causes such cartridge casing to tilt and to be guided in a forward direction during ejection; said fire arm further including a lever mounted next to the extractor in a pivotal manner on one of the mobile elements; said lever connected to a rotatable eccentric cam arranged so as to engage and cooperate with the extractor when rotated, said extractor mounted so as to pivot about a first transverse axis, such that, when the lever pivots, said cam rotates and causes the extractor to pivot about said first transverse axis and to disengage the casing; said frame including at least one control stop located in the trajectory of the lever during forward movement of the mobile elements, said control stop engaging the lever to cause it to pivot during such forward movement at the moment when the casing must be disengaged from the extractor.
