Automatic firearm of light, simple design - trigger protrudes upwards and magazine is carried horizontally under barrel

摘要

An automatic rifle with high fire power and of simplified design, is almost completely enclosed, with only a small downwards extending portion at the butt end and only the front and rear sights projecting upwards, the near sight being mounted on the trigger shroud. The breech mechanism can be of standard design, and the firing members (1, 2, 3) which are in line with the barrel at the point of firing can swing rearwards to form an L shape when retracted. The cartridges may be housed inside a magazine under the barrel, parallel with it, with the cartridges sloping at an angle inside it, and fed rearwards.
