TODAYS PATENT- SELF LOADING WEAPON

The Self loading weapon was invented by Manfred Guhring on the 3rd of October 2000, bearing patent number US6125735A.

The invention relates generally to automatic weapons, and, more particularly, to a fully automatic self-loading weapon with a functional part which moves in response to the release of a round to connect a single-shot device to thereby ensure the automatic weapon fires only two shots for a single actuation of the trigger.

The weapon has a functional part that can be moved by the release of a round, and a connectable and disconnectable single-shot device which, when activated, causes release of one shot for every actuation of the weapon trigger. To restrict the number of rounds of a burst to only two rounds, after release of one round with the single-shot device disconnected, the movement of the functional part automatically activates the single-shot device so that only a single additional round is released.
