Abstract

A firearm comprising a barrel assembly mounted at one end to a butt group, the butt group including a firing mechanism and an ammunition entry point; a gun lock group slidably mounted between the barrel assembly and butt group that slides to load ammunition from the ammunition entry port into a barrel of the barrel assembly upon cocking of the firearm; and a rail for accessory attachment that is mounted on the barrel and in direct contact with a portion of the barrel. The second invention relates to a hammer pack in the butt group that automatically resets the firing mechanism upon recoiling of the gun lock group during firing, wherein the hammer pack includes a hammer biased to pivot under the force of a hammer spring, and an autofire lever biased through an autofire lever spring to engage the hammer.

Firearms can be single shot firearms or ‘repeating’ firearms where multiple cartridges are loaded. In semi-automatic firearms the next cartridge round is automatically re-cocked and re-loaded and in fully automatic firearms the firing mechanisms enable rapid fire by automatically re-cocking, re-loading and firing so long as the firing trigger is depressed.
