Firearm

Abstract

A firearm is proposed, with an optical safety marking provided on the firearm for clearly indicating the safety state of the firearm. In order to increase the safety of the firearm, it is proposed for the safety marking to be embodied as phosphorescent and/or fluorescent and/or radioluminescent and/or bioluminescent.

         2 . The firearm according to  claim 1 , wherein the safety marking has a first layer that is phosphorescent and/or fluorescent and/or radioluminescent and/or bioluminescent. 
     
     
         3 . The firearm according to  claim 2 , wherein the first layer has phosphorescent and/or fluorescent pigments in a binding agent. 
     
     
         4 . The firearm according to  claim 3 , wherein the first layer has inorganic pigments in a binding agent. 
     
     
         5 . The firearm according to  claim 3 , wherein the binding agent has an epoxy resin base or acrylic base. 
     
     
         6 . The firearm according to  claim 3 , wherein the first layer is formed by curing a low-viscosity and/or filler-free binding agent with pigments mixed into the binding agent. 
     
     
         7 . The firearm according to  claim 1 , wherein the safety marking has a protective layer, which covers the first layer. 
     
     
         8 . The firearm according to  claim 7 , wherein the protective layer is composed of a paint layer. 
     
     
         9 . The firearm according to  claim 8 , wherein the protective layer is composed of a clear lacquer or a transparent layer and/or the protective layer has an alkyd resin base or a polyester base. 
     
     
         10 . The firearm according to  claim 2 , wherein the safety marking is provided on a second layer on the firearm. 
     
     
         11 . The firearm according to  claim 10 , wherein the second layer is white or titanium white. 
     
     
         12 . The firearm according to  claim 1 , wherein the firearm has a recess in which the safety marking is provided. 
     
     
         13 . The firearm according to  claim 12 , wherein the recess has a cross-section that is dovetail-shaped or rectangular or triangular or semicircular. 
     
     
         14 . The firearm according to  claim 1 , wherein the safety marking is applied to the firearm in layers. 
     
     
         15 . The firearm according to  claim 1 , wherein the safety marking is fastened to the firearm with an adhesive. 
     
     
         16 . The firearm according to  claim 15 , wherein the adhesive has white or titanium white pigments. 
     
     
         17 . The firearm according to  claim 1 , wherein the safety marking is haptically perceptible. 
     
     
         18 . The firearm according to  claim 1 , wherein the safety marking has a tritium gas light source. 
     
     
         19 . The firearm according to  claim 1 , wherein the firearm has a firearm safety with the safety marking. 
     
     
         20 . The firearm according to  claim 19 , wherein the firearm safety is a mechanical firearm safety. 
     
     
         21 . The firearm according to  claim 1 , wherein the safety marking is provided on a housing, a housing system, a system, a system case, a grip, a grip handle, a butt or stock, a trigger guard, a bolt, a slide, a safety lever, a safety slider, a safety pusher, an decocking lever, a barrel, a bore, and/or a manual cocking system or cocking handle or manual cocking system. 
     
     
         22 . The firearm according to  claim 1 , wherein the firearm is embodied, in the event of a change in the safety state of the firearm, to optically cover the safety marking that indicates either a safety state of the firearm or a ready-to-fire state of the firearm. 
     
     
         23 . The firearm according to  claim 1 , wherein the firearm has a movable part and depending on a position of the movable part, the safety marking is optically covered. 
     
     
         24 . The firearm according to  claim 23 , wherein the firearm safety has the movable part. 
     
     
         25 . The firearm according to  claim 23 , wherein at least one of the group consisting a safety lever, a decocking lever, a safety slider, a safety pusher, a safety manual cocking system, a cocking handle, and a manual cocking system comprises the movable part. 
     
     
         26 . The firearm according to  claim 1 , wherein the firearm is embodied, in the event of a change in the safety state of the firearm, to optically cover a first safety marking and to optically uncover a second safety marking whose indicated state of the firearm differs from the indicated state of the firearm of the first safety marking. 
     
     
         27 . The firearm according to  claim 1 , wherein the safety marking is provided for the safety state of the firearm.
