Abstract

A weapon having a barrel (3) supported in a cradle (2) for axial recoil movement, and having a breech block wedge (7) displaceable, transversely to the barrel axis (6) by a control unit (11) connected to the cradle and acting on a piston rod (8). The control unit (11) includes a spring-loaded shift rod (13) aligned with the piston rod (8), a spring-loaded control rod (15) aligned with a control cam (10) secured to the breech ring (4), and a detent pawl (17) that can be pivoted by a cam (16) from a blocking to a release position. The piston and shift rods (8, 13) are disposed such that during forward motion of the barrel (3), the breech block wedge (7) is already opened by axial displacement of the rods (8, 13) before the control cam (10) displaces the control rod (15).
