Distal translation of the plunger relative to the housing is configured to affect a function of the surgical instrument. The first linkage is disposed at least partially within the housing. A first portion of the first linkage is pivotable about the housing, and a second portion of the first linkage is slidable relative to the handle pin. The second linkage is disposed at least partially within the housing. A first portion of the second linkage is pivotable about the plunger, and a second portion of the second linkage is pivotable about a third portion of the first linkage.
