Abstract
A drive for a weapon having a drive cam and a connecting rod unit guided in the drive cam. The drive cam includes the firing cycle of the weapon. A connecting rod unit has a front pin and a rear pin, a strut pin. With its front pin, the connecting rod unit engages in the drive cam. The front pin is also connected to a crank, which is driven by an external drive. The strut pin is connected to an overall control slider of a breech block of the weapon. An emergency stop device, which when a shot is fired makes a pin extend and ensures that the overall control slider is taken along. If, on the other hand, no shot is fired, the pin is not made to extend and the overall control slider not moved. Parts of the drive may in this case continue to run.
