Abstract

Eine Handfeuerwaffe besteht aus einem Verschlußteile aufnehmenden Gehäuse (2), einem am Gehäuse befestigten Schaft (3) und einem mit dem Gehäuse (2) lösbar verbundenen Lauf (1), und mit einem Träger für ein Zielfernrohr (5). Um die Nachteile der konventionellen Zielfernrohranbringung zu vermeiden und eine formschöne und praktische Gestaltung der gesamten Waffe zu ermöglichen, bildet das Gehäuse (2,10) über die Verbindung (14) mit dem Lauf (1) hinaus nach vorne eine Gehäuseverlängerung (11) und ist oben am Gehäuse (10) und an der Gehäuseverlängerung (11) als Träger für das Zielfernrohr (5) eine Längsschiene (12) angeformt. Die Gehäuseteile bestehen (10,11) aus Leichtmetall.

Figure 00000001
A handgun consists of a housing (2) which bears the breech block, a shaft (3) attached to the housing and a barrel (1) detachably connected to the housing (2), and a support for a telescopic sight (5). In order to avoid the disadvantages of conventional rifle scope attachment and to enable a shapely and practical design of the entire weapon, the housing (2, 10) forms a housing extension (11) via the connection (14) with the barrel (1) and towards the front A longitudinal rail (12) is formed on top of the housing (10) and on the housing extension (11) as a carrier for the telescopic sight (5). The housing parts are made of light metal (10, 11).
