Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A firing mechanism for a machinegun which comprises a bolt movable between a retracted and a battery position responsive to crank rotation and a firing pin slidingly disposed within the bolt. A firing pin spring is compressed by the crank-actuated drive pin during final displacement of the bolt to the battery position. Cam means rotates the bolt, when in battery position, around the firing pin into locked engagement with a barrel extension and thereby moves a recessed ramp in the firing pin into alignment with a sear fixed within the bolt bore for release of the firing pin when the locking engagement is completed.
