hammerless shotgun Explanation: https://www.jagdwelten.com/krieghoff-von-jagdbuechsen-und-de... Weitere Erfindungen nach Krieghoff-Patenten: eine Einabzugskonstruktion, das Pulvermikromaß sowie die Schlagstücksicherung für hahnlose Gewehre. Gerade letzteres wird mehrfach prämiert. Wo Licht ist, ist aber auch Schatten: Die erste hakenlose Bockdoppelflinte oder ein mit Luft gefülltes Gummikissen im Bereich der Schaftbacke erweisen sich als Flops. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammerless A hammerless firearm is a firearm that lacks an exposed hammer or hammer spur. Although it may not literally lack a hammer, it lacks a hammer that the user can pull. In rifles, using a striker rather than a hammer is a substantial improvement because the time from trigger pull to firing can be less. This makes the rifle more accurate, because the rifleman's muscular tremors have less time to move the rifle off-aim... The earliest cartridge firearms simply copied the older style of action; the .45-70 "Trapdoor" rifle and most early cartridge double-barreled shotguns are good examples of this. In these designs, the loading of the cartridge(s) and the cocking of the hammer(s) were separate operations. While rifles evolved away quickly away from these early breech loading designs, the double-barrelled shotgun retained its popularity, and, for some time, its exposed hammers. http://www.icollector.com/Sempert-and-Krieghoff-Left-Handed-...
