Abstract

This invention relates to an arrangement for rapidly stopping an automatic weapon having an external drive where the breech block is driven by parallel shafts. This arrangement provides for the rapid stopping of the shafts and thus the weapon by providing the shafts with coaxially mounted pockets at their ends in which a pair of claws may be engaged to stop the rotation of the shafts.
