Semi-automatic or automatic rifle/pistol has permanent magnets at the breech to close and hold the breech block for firing

摘要

The semi-automatic or automatic weapon (2), as a rifle or pistol, has a breech (8) at the rear end of the barrel (4) for the insertion of a round of ammunition and be closed by a breech block (6). At least one permanent magnet (26.1,26.2,28.1,28.2) forms a magnetic field at the breech block, to move it into the closing position and hold it when closed. The magnetic force of at least one permanent magnet simulates a greater mass than the breech block, to keep it in the closed position when the weapon is fired.
