Abstract
The present disclosure provides a primer feeding, firing and ejecting mechanism (100), that includes a magazine holder (102), a primer feed unit (104), a firing unit (110), a safety lock unit (112), and a primer extractor unit (114). The magazine holder (102) rotates against a pivot point, and it holds a magazine, that houses a plurality of unfired primer (106). The unfired primer (106) is fed to a spindle (108) of a firearm, by the primer feed unit (104). It includes an actuator (104a) for driving a lever arrangement (104b) for feeding the unfired primer (106). Further, the firing unit (110) includes a firing pin (110a) for striking the unfired primer (106). Furthermore, the safety lock unit (112) obstructs the firing pin (110a) to prevent misfire of the firearm. In addition, the primer extractor unit (114) extracts a fired primer (116) from the spindle (108).
