Firearm with safety device

摘要

Each lock can be freed only by an authorised person, typically using a key (5,6). There can be an ejector for the key in a dangerous situation, so that the firearm can not then be used by an unauthorised person. The key can be attached by a chain (8) to the wrist of the authorised person, the firearm then becoming useless if snatched away.The lock can also be arranged to work with electronic components, a self-destruction mechanism operating if the lock is drilled open.
