  • Patent number: 8448557
    Abstract: A firing mechanism security apparatus prevents runaway machine gun fire by first sensing rounds being fired and sensing that the trigger mechanism is not instructing the weapon to fire. A mechanical actuator may block a path of the ammunition between the ammunition storage box and the machine gun or blocks spent ammunition from being ejected. Without engaging the trigger mechanism directly, a stopper signaled by a controller or motor may move from a first position to a second position and thereby be interposed between rounds of ammunition adjacent the ammunition storage box or between the ammunition feeder and the machine gun. The ammunition feeder may, alternatively, include a mechanical actuator that receives a signal from a motor or controller, the actuator capable of blocking the feeder's advancement of ammunition. Additionally, the gun may be elevated as a safety precaution.
