Abstract
Firearms, with gas-operated reloading, having a gas block that includes a gas pressure selector movable between at least two positions. For smooth operation, the gas pressure selector in the gas block is rotatable into at least two positions about its primary axis and is also designed to be axially displaceable along the same primary axis between at least two positions. The gas block includes a stop pin that is arranged to cooperate with a control surface of the gas pressure selector with complementary form and function, and further includes a locking device having a spring-loaded locking pin that can yield normally to the primary axis to temporarily lock the gas pressure selector in a predetermined position.
