Abstract

Firearms including magazine holders operable from either side of the firearm. The magazine holder includes two interconnected actuating elements, pivotable with respect to one another and separable from one another by longitudinal shifting, and a spring. The magazine holder is configured so that when pressure is applied to a right actuating element, a moment of force is applied to a first actuating element, which it cannot follow, and so both actuating elements, without changing their relative position to one another, are shifted against the force of the spring normal to the weapon median plane, removing a locking extension from the magazine housing. Upon actuation of the left actuating element, a stop on the right actuating element prevents its shift transverse to the weapon median plane, and so the first actuating element pivots against the force of the spring, and the locking extension is again moved from the locking element.
