Definitions

• the invention relates to a locking mechanism of a slide of a weapon, especially of a self-loading pistol, with a stationary barrel mounted fixedly in a frame, on which a slide is mounted displaceably for forward and backward movement.
• GB 127642A discloses an automatic rifle, the automation of which is based on the use of the energy of the powder gases discharged from the barrel channel.
• a piston Under the barrel is arranged a piston which moves forwards and actuates a mechanism consisting of a complex lever system, telescopic connecting rods, a sliding element and a row of springs. After a pressure drop in the barrel, the springs stretched by the piston are activated by a locking mechanism to reload the rifle whereby the locking mechanism first opens and then closes due to the force of the springs.
• the locking mechanism consists of two parts, the body of the slide and the screw of the slide.
• the barrel is locked with a screw that rotates around its axis during the firing, and its catches fit into the protrusions of the barrel bushing in which the rifle barrel is mounted.
• the device is too complicated and cannot be used for self-loading pistols.

It is only after overcoming these forces that the slide begins to move backwards. This ensures the possibility of shooting with high-performance cartridges, while maintaining low weight of the slide and of the entire weapon.
