Thanks, the hammer was hard to get working and i thought it was pretty shoddy so its nice to hear that, and as for the guard your right, i think it was a thing on Fitz special revolvers
The bolt mechanism was designed after a sketch i saw on Gun Wiki on fandom.com belonging to (i think) the 1924 Garand trials rifle, Alot of the things i did (Sear trigger, Serrated trigger guard) were additional though. No problem!
I didint feel like it was appropriate to call it a SMG because its not designed to shoot in full auto (and honestly is not fully capable of consistently doing so anyways) has adjustable rear sights (i am aware many SMG's had adjustable rear sights, but they did not usually account for elevation, if they did they were usually discarded after a while ) and the shape of it. I like to think of it more as a overcomplicated varmint rifle.
A lot of rifles shoot pistol cartridges, specifically carbine type rifles. (Ruger PC carbine for a modern example.) The main reason i used pistol cartridges was because i wanted to design the system around a more ''low pressure'' cartridge, plus its easier to make a magazine.
Thank you, Im thinking for the semi auto its gonna have a second sear, with a total of three sears.
It will probably be based off of one of Johnfromthewest's triggers but i dont want to just copy and paste so ill probably try working out some sort of 3 sears one trigger thing.
But for that to happen i need to figure out a way to get the firing pin to not slide due to inertia just so happening to be a property of matter, and the action needs to be a wee bit smoother.
