Ordnance, breech mechanism.-Relates to semi-automatic guns of the kind convertible into quick-firing guns, and having two catches, one of which locks the breech-actuating hand-lever to the block-actuating spindle for quick-firing, and the other locks the hand-lever to the gun when firing semi-automatically. The invention consists in making the two catches co-acting, so that one cannot be engaged without releasing the other, but in such manner that the semiautomatic catch may be disengaged without affecting the quick-firing catch, so that if the breech is incompletely closed when acting semiautomatically, the operation may be completed by hand. Figs. 3 and 4 are sections in two different planes of one construction, showing the catches in conjunction with a handle of the kind described in Specification 19,847/10. The quick-firing catch C is pivoted at c to the handlever B, and is adapted to be engaged with a notch b<2> in a sleeve B<2>, keyed to the breechactuating spindle B<1>, when a lever E, pivoted to the handle B<Î>, is grasped. The semi-automatic catch D is a spring - pressed plunger located in the handle B<Î>, and adapted to enter a pocket A<Î> in the breech-end A of the gun. The spring e<1> of the catch D bears at its upper end against a floating piston E<1>, which is supported by a nose e<2> on the lever E. The nose e<2> also engages with a roller e<3Î> carried by the catch D, so that, when the handle B<Î> is grasped and the lever E is pressed in, the catch D is lifted, while, at the same time, the catch C is rocked into engagement with the notch b<2>. The catch D may lie lifted, without affecting the quickfiring catch C, by the milled head D‹. The invention is also described as applied to handlevers which project beyond the breech of the gun; the semi-automatic catch D is then a spring-plunger in the gun engaging with a pocket in the hand-lever, and is actuated by a lever pivoted in the handle B and co-operating with the catch C.
