Abstract

Firearm for use as a semiautomatic weapon that can be converted to sustained fire comprises a conversion device with an engaging element that engages with a trigger lever (43) to prevent its forward movement. Preferred Features: The engaging element is a slide (61) that engages behind the trigger lever located in the action region of an engaging lug (39).
