Abstract
A trigger mechanism includes a firing pin having a cocked position and a firing position into which the firing pin is adapted to be accelerated; a catch having a locking position for engaging the firing pin in the cocked position to hold the firing pin; a spring operatively connected to the catch for urging the catch into the locking position; a first actuating bar connected to the catch; a standby catch having a locking position in which the standby catch is situated in the path of motion of and out of contact with the firing pin for preventing the firing pin from moving from the cocked position into the firing position; a second actuating bar connected to the standby catch; and a force-transmitting arrangement for simultaneously applying a triggering force to the first and second actuating bars for simultaneously displacing them to simultaneously move the catch and the standby catch from respective locking positions to respective withdrawn positions.
