Handgun

Abstract

The present invention relates to a handgun comprising a magazine with a magazine head on which devices are located at the top in order to hold the uppermost cartridge in the loading position as well as devices which bring about the ejection of the cartridge case after the shot wherein these device comprise at least one ejector element which is attached detachably and exchangeably to the magazine head. According to the present invention, the ejector element in its mounted functional position on the magazine head is positioned so that it at least partially overlaps and/or encompasses the uppermost cartridge on its circumference. As a result of the solution according to the invention, the sheet metal element is additionally assigned the function of the downholder in addition to the ejector function, that is the sheet metal element holds the uppermost cartridge before the shot in the magazine.

1 . A handgun comprising a magazine with a magazine head ( 10 ) on which devices are located at the top in order to hold the uppermost cartridge ( 13 ) in the loading position as well as devices which bring about the ejection of the cartridge case after the shot wherein these device comprise at least one ejector element ( 11 ) which is attached detachably and exchangeably to the magazine head ( 10 ), characterized in that the ejector element ( 11 ) in its mounted functional position on the magazine head ( 10 ) is positioned so that it at least partially overlaps and/or encompasses the uppermost cartridge ( 13 ) on its circumference. 
     
     
         2 . The handgun according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the ejector element ( 11 ) is a canted sheet metal element and fulfils the function of a downholder for the cartridge ( 13 ) as well as the function of an ejector metal plate for the cartridge case. 
     
     
         3 . The handgun according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the ejector element ( 11 ) comprises an upper end-side folded edge ( 11   c ) which in the mounted functional position of the ejector element is approximately horizontally aligned and extends above at least one partial length section of the cartridge ( 13 ). 
     
     
         4 . The handgun according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the ejector element ( 11 ) in its mounted functional position abuts at least in sections approximately tangentially against a section of the circumference of the cartridge case ( 13 ), in particular in the region of the ignition edge. 
     
     
         5 . The handgun according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the ejector element ( 11 ) is held by at least one fastening element, in particular a pin ( 12 ,  15 ) or a screw on the magazine head ( 10 ). 
     
     
         6 . The handgun according to  claim 5 , characterized in that at least one pin ( 15 ) or a screw is provided as the fastening element for the ejector element ( 11 ), which, in the mounted functional position of the ejector element ( 11 ), extends behind this approximately in the longitudinal direction of the magazine head ( 10 ) and/or approximately parallel to the alignment of the cartridge ( 13 ) along the ejector element ( 11 ). 
     
     
         7 . The handgun according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the ejector element ( 11 ) has at least one hole ( 11   d ), a bore or recess, which is assigned at least one fixing element ( 15 ) on the magazine head ( 10 ), which in the mounted functional position engages approximately positively in this hole, this bore or recess and thereby fixes the ejector element ( 11 ). 
     
     
         8 . The handgun according to  claim 7 , characterized in that at least one hole ( 11   d ), a bore or recess is located in a lower section ( 11   a ) of the ejector element ( 11 ) which in the mounted functional position of the ejector element runs approximately vertically or in the height direction of the magazine head ( 10 ). 
     
     
         9 . The handgun according to  claim 2 , characterized in that the ejector element ( 11 ) comprises a first lower section ( 11   a ) which in the mounted functional position of the ejector element extends approximately in the height direction of the magazine head ( 10 ), at least one second central section ( 11   b ) starting from this first lower section extending inwards at an obtuse angle and at least one third upper section ( 11   c ) starting from the second central section ( 11   b ) which is angled inwards at an obtuse angle, wherein the latter fulfils the function of the downholder for the cartridge ( 13 ).
