Abstract
The invention relates to a safety device, for an automatic weapon with "floating" firing, including a rotating drum (2) driven by an external motor for driving a breech with a reciprocating motion. The safety device includes locking devices (14) for the rotating of the drum in each cycle, and control devices for retracting the locking devices when the weapon recoils, the control devices being fitted to act on the locking devices for a predetermined recoil travel distance, independently of the weapon recoil starting position.
