  • Publication number: 20070051236
    Abstract: The trigger mechanism allows the firearm to operate in a closed-bolt mode during semi-automatic fire and in an open-bolt mode during automatic fire. The mode change occurs only after the first round is discharged after the selector has been moved instead of when the selector switch is moved, thus avoiding undesirable mechanism noise or motion at the time of selecting the firing mode.
