Abstract
A structure for a weapon apparatus that can be made of polymer materials is provided. In addition to many novel features, including a counter-torque muzzle cap, an operating handle and gas-operated link, this weapon apparatus has a unique firing mechanism as specifically claimed herein. The firing mechanism comprises a trigger bar having a cantilever-shaped release spring for biasing the trigger bar forward and an upwardly extending disconnector protruding into the path of the hammer. A rotating safety to lock the sear mechanism is also provided.
