Abstract
A gun includes a frame and a pivoting barrel assembly which is releasably latched in a firing position by a pair of flexible and resilient latches on the barrel assembly which engage shoulders on the frame. A trigger is slidably mounted on the frame for movement between a rest position and a firing position. A projectile loader is mounted on the frame at the breech end of the barrel assembly for movement between a loading position and a firing position. The loader is provided with an opening which is aligned with a magazine in the frame when the loader is in the loading position and is aligned with the bore of the barrel assembly when the loader is in the firing position. A camming ramp on the trigger is engageable with the loader for moving the loader between the loading and firing positions as the trigger moves between the rest and firing positions. A trigger interlock is movably mounted on the frame and engages the trigger when the barrel assembly is out of the firing position for preventing the trigger from moving to the firing position. The trigger interlock is moved out of engagement with the trigger by the barrel assembly when the barrel assembly moves to the firing position.
