Abstract
A functioning mechanism for a small caliber automatic weapon includes a translatable and rotatable sear, and a rotatable hammer. The sear includes a hooking element adapted to contact a bearing surface of the hammer to render the hammer immobile. Rotating movement of the sear is controlled by the hammer in such a way as to obtain clean contact between the hooking element and the bearing surface.
