Firearm system with fire mode selector switch

Abstract

Implementations of the present invention relate to apparatuses, systems, and methods for firing a belt-fed closed-bolt firearm by delivering an impulse from an impulse source along a first axis to a firing pin on a second axis. The first axis and second axis are not coaxial, allowing the impulse source to be disposed away from and not in direct contact or alignment with the firing pin.

1 . A system comprising:
 an elongate receiver defining an interior volume and having an exterior surface;   a trigger package having a rotatable fire mode selector switch, the fire mode selector switch being disposed proximate the exterior surface; and   a selector stop disposed on the exterior surface and configured to partially inhibit rotation of the fire mode selector switch.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the rotatable fire mode selector is removable from the trigger pack when rotated to a disassemble position. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the selector stop is configured to inhibit the fire mode selector switch from achieving the disassemble position. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the selector stop is affixed to the exterior surface of the receiver. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the selector stop is a raised portion of the exterior surface of the receiver. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a housing in which the trigger package is disposed, wherein the trigger package is connected to the housing by only the fire mode selector switch.
