This class covers also means for practice and training which may have aspects of simulation, e.g. in apparatus for so-called "military games", although simulators are generally covered by class Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...G09. [4]
In this class, the following terms or expressions are used with the meanings indicated:
"smallarm" means a firearm which is generally held with one or both hands for firing, but this term also includes a light machine-gun which may be supported on a tripod or the like during firing; [5]
"gun" means any weapon having a barrel and a trigger or firing mechanism for projecting a missile; it may be a piece of ordnance or a smallarm. It may use combustible or explosive propellant charges, air pressure, electromagnetism or other propulsive forces; [5]
"revolver-type gun" means a gun having a revolving drum magazine, the chambers of which are used successively as firing chamber; [5]
"revolver" means a revolver-type pistol; [5]
"semi-automatic firearm" means a firearm from which one shot is fired after actuation of the trigger and which then returns to a condition for firing a subsequent shot upon renewed actuation of the trigger;
"automatic firearm" means a firearm which will continue firing so long as the initial firing pressure is maintained on the trigger;
"sighting" means bringing into visual coincidence a direction defined by a so-called "sighting" device with the direction of a target;
"aiming" means bringing a weapon to a direction differing from the sighting direction by corrections in order that the projectile may hit the target;
"laying" means setting a weapon in the correct position for hitting a target.
Attention is drawn to the definitions of "projectile", "missile" and "rocket" given in Note (2) following the title of class Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...F42. [4]
