One of the most interesting and important issue when learning shooting from any type of weapon, is a smooth cocking the trigger. It depends on how quickly and accurately the target will be hit. Mistakes made without their speedy elimination will not give the shooter advantages and will hinder his development in every possible way. That is why, in order to master the technique of releasing the trigger from a combat platoon, it is necessary to allocate enough time and make a lot of effort, which in turn will avoid unnecessary disappointments and wasted cartridges.
The development of this element in is not some kind of overly difficult issue, but it requires an investment of strength and patience. It is because of these moments that many postpone everything until later, and subsequently completely forget about it. Workout on early stages occurs exclusively idly, until the appearance of full automatism. The main thing is to train every day, allocating 20-30 minutes for this. This will be enough to achieve good results in a few weeks.
First you need to understand on the theory how to carry out a smooth descent of the trigger. You should put on the trigger the first phalanx, or "cushion" of the index finger. From what part of it will touch the descent depends on the dimensions of the weapon, or on whether the trigger is cocked on it or not. You can learn how to properly hold a weapon. It is important to understand which part of the finger is most convenient to smoothly release the trigger. To do this, you need to cock it and pull the trigger from the cocking with various parts of the finger. This will help to choose the best location for its convenient and comfortable shooting. It is also correct to press the trigger exclusively towards the handle, along the centerline of the barrel.
There are a number of exercises that allow you to work out a smooth descent of the trigger from a combat platoon.
Exercise 1
This exercise is a warm-up and is done without the use of weapons. The hand gathers into a fist, the index finger straightens forward, the thumb does the same, followed by imposing it on the middle one. Then the first phalanx of the index finger is bent and with its pad begins to press on the pad of the thumb imitating the trigger. It is important here to learn how to track and correct the correct pressing and the pressure exerted should go exclusively to the base of the thumb. At the moment of imitating the descent, it is important that the other fingers of the hand do not move behind the index finger during its movement.
Exercise 2
Performed with weapons. If possible, use the self-cocking function, this is when a shot is fired with the combat trigger not cocked. Before starting work with a weapon, you should check it for discharge. After that, it moves to eye level towards the targets. Concentrate all your attention on the trigger mechanism and begin to perform a smooth trigger release until the moment of a single shot. The correctness of actions is characterized by the smoothness of the work and the application of gradual pressure on the trigger without returning the finger back. At the moment of this movement, one or two stops are allowed, which is caused by technical features USM (shock trigger).
Exercise 3
He takes up a standing position, the weapon rises on an outstretched arm. A sleeve is installed at the end of the barrel (if possible). The task of the shooter is to make a smooth descent of the trigger by the platoon itself so that the sleeve stays in place.
Exercise 4
A cone-shaped long cap is made of paper. After that, he puts on the trigger finger, picks up the weapon and engages. The trigger is cocked, the trigger is smoothly released and a blank shot is fired. Thanks to the tip of the cap put on the finger, you can see and correct the smoothness of finger movements and the correct processing of the trigger release from the cocking along the entire trajectory of movement.
Exercise 5
It is fixed on the wall in the form of any colored paper. Occupies the position of the floor sideways in relation to the wall, at arm's length. The weapon is taken in the lowered hand and a paper cap is put on the shooting finger. The trigger is cocked, after which the hand begins to slowly rise towards the target, while simultaneously retracting the trigger finger. Using the cap, you can easily determine the correct operation of the trigger finger. With the degree of development of this movement, accelerate the speed of its implementation. At the same time, it is necessary to achieve such a result, in which it was done precisely for the purpose of high speed raising the hand and the correct course of the trigger finger.
This task makes it possible to combine all the movements that occur together at the time of shooting. At the same time, such parts of the body as: the torso, the hand holding the weapon, the finger responsible for pressing trigger, correct breathing is exhibited. A good operating time takes about one week, with daily 20-30 minutes. Having acquired such a skill, the shooter becomes almost ready to move on to firing live ammunition.
A very important role, responsible for the smooth release of the trigger from the cocking, is assigned to the wrists. The wrist plays just as important a role in shooting as trigger handling. It remembers the positions of the weapon and fixes it in its muscle memory, which is why successful shooters spend so much time training with it.
Here are some wrist strengthening exercises you can do in any conditions.
- Push-ups on fists and wrists;
- Rising and lowering along the wall with the help of fists (it takes a position as when pushing up from the floor only near the wall and push-ups up and down begin);
- Twisting sticks with hands in different directions (done with reinforcement)
- The stick is fixed by hand at one of its ends, after which movements are made in the form of circular and in the form of a figure eight through the air with the other end.
- A stick is taken, a rope about 1 meter long is tied to its middle. A load is attached to it, weighing from 2-25 kilograms. The stick is fixed in front of you on outstretched arms located at the edges, after which the rope is wound around it with the movement of the brushes.
- Holding on the outstretched arm of the load. It can be: a dumbbell, a bottle of water, an iron.
So, let's summarize how to do smooth descent of the trigger from the combat platoon. In order to go directly to shooting from a weapon, it is necessary to master this issue and develop a technique that allows you to form, accustom your hands to the model of weapon from which the shooting will be carried out. All these exercises can be mastered in a few weeks, with daily workouts for 20-30 minutes a day. It should be remembered that if everything is done quickly and clearly in a calm environment, then in a stressful situation it will be different. That is why you should rely on the proven technique, it is she who will help out at the right time. Your shooting must be stable, otherwise it will only speak of momentary successes or gaps in technique.

Warm-up, idle training in practical shooting
The release of the trigger in terms of its specific weight in the production of a well-aimed shot is of paramount importance and is a determining indicator of the degree of preparedness of the shooter. All shooting errors are solely due to incorrect processing of the trigger release. Aiming errors and weapon oscillations allow you to show decent enough results, but trigger errors inevitably lead to a sharp increase in dispersion and even misses.
Mastering the proper trigger technique is the cornerstone of the art of marksmanship with any handgun. Only those who understand this and consciously master the technique of pulling the trigger will confidently hit any targets, in any condition will be able to show high results and fully realize combat properties personal weapons.
Pulling the trigger is the most difficult element to master, requiring the longest and most painstaking work.
Recall that when considering the phenomenon of recoil in Section 2.2, it was found that when a bullet leaves the bore, the bolt moves back by 2 mm, and there is no effect on the hand at this time. The bullet flies to where the weapon was aimed at the moment it leaves the bore. Therefore, correctly pulling the trigger is to perform such actions in which the weapon does not change its aiming position in the period from the trigger to the release of the bullet from the barrel.
The time from trigger release to bullet departure is very short and is approximately 0.0045 s, of which 0.0038 s is the time of rotation of the trigger and 0.00053-0.00061 s is the time of passage of the bullet along the barrel. Nevertheless, in such a short time period, with errors in trigger processing, the weapon manages to deviate from the aiming position.
What are these errors, and what are the reasons for their appearance? To clarify this issue, it is necessary to consider the ergonomic system: shooter-weapon, while two groups of causes of errors should be distinguished.
1. Technical reasons - errors caused by the imperfection of serial weapons (gaps between moving parts, poor surface finish, clogging of mechanisms, barrel wear, imperfection and poor debugging of the firing mechanism, etc.)
2. Reasons human factor- mistakes directly by a person, due to various physiological and psycho-emotional characteristics of the body of each person.
Both groups of causes of errors are closely related to each other, manifest themselves in a complex and entail one another. Of the first group of technical errors, the most tangible role that negatively affects the result is played by the imperfection of the trigger mechanism, the disadvantages of which include:
increased trigger pull force (more than 2.5 kg), which leads to excessive trimmer, especially for poorly trained shooters;
stepped trigger stroke due to poor processing of rubbing surfaces involved in trigger release;
failure of the trigger when the trigger is released, which leads to a contraction of the muscles involved in holding the weapon, and, as a result, to angular deviations.
Technical causes are eliminated quite easily when debugging the trigger mechanism by an experienced gunsmith. It is clear that from a debugged weapon it is easier to show nice results than from an ordinary pistol with a poorly debugged trigger.
The errors of the shooter himself are due to the peculiarities of his physiological systems, knowledge of theoretical positions and practical skills, and the frequency of errors and their magnitude depend on the level of preparedness of the shooter and his experience.
There are a number of characteristic errors that are characteristic of shooters of various qualifications:
1. Incorrect direction of force on the trigger.
5. Catching "tens".
Rice. 14. The direction of the pull force on the trigger
1. Incorrect direction of the force of the index finger on the trigger.
Pressing should be carried out in such a way that when the trigger is moved, the front sight remains level in the slot of the rear sight, and when the trigger is released, the weapon does not make angular deviations. To do this, it is necessary to exclude the effect of disturbing moments on the weapon. This is possible only if the line of action of force on the trigger passes through the center of holding the weapon, located in the area of \u200b\u200bthe “asterisk” (or under the nail of the middle finger). This is true from a mechanical point of view. In order for the line of action of the force to pass through the center of the hold, it is necessary to feel how the index finger develops the force lying in the vertical plane of the weapon in the direction of the back crease of the palm (Fig. 14. Point "A").
Usually in all shooting manuals it is said that the line of action of the force must be parallel to the axis of the bore. However, it is easy to see that in this case a moment arises, which, especially when pressed quickly, will deflect the front sight upwards. This can lead to separation during high-speed shooting.
If, however, the force is not developed in the plane of the weapon, then lateral deviations of the holes will appear in the appropriate direction.
It should be noted that everyone should try various ways pressing the trigger and determine for yourself such a direction of effort in which the front sight will remain in the slot even with intensive processing of the working stroke.
The error in the direction of effort is eliminated by long training, when the skill of pressing the trigger is developed with a feeling of development of effort in the plane of the weapon through the center of retention. But in order to show consistently high results in any exercise, the control of pressing and development of force on the trigger must be carried out with each processing of the trigger, even when they are brought to the level of automatic execution.
2. Unsmooth trigger pull.
Many novice shooters are mistaken, identifying the concepts of smooth and slow pressing. By smooth pressing it is necessary to understand such processing of the descent, in which the weapon does not change its aiming position.
Each shooter performs the descent in his own way. It can be fast and slow, with a quick press at the beginning of the working stroke with a slowdown at the end and vice versa, stepped or pulsating (Fig. 15). The choice of pressing option depends on the shooting conditions, the exercise being performed, the type of weapon and the experience of the shooter.
Fig.15. Trigger pull options
In the first lessons, it is advisable to start learning the trigger release with a uniform pressure at a constant speed of about 0.5 mm per second. After aiming the weapon at the aiming area, fixing the brush and choosing an idle, all attention is focused on non-stop pressing the trigger with the index finger, regardless of the position of the sight on the target. The movement of the index finger should be observed as if from the side. If the shooter feels that the finger has stopped, it is necessary to postpone the shot, for which release the trigger and lower the hand. After a pause, you need to resume processing the descent. Several attempts to press from one arm raise will lead to a delay in the shot and, ultimately, to more gross errors than shifting the sight from the aiming area.
3. Delaying the shot in time.
The amplitudes of vibrations of the hand and weapon are constantly changing. They can fade, disappear altogether and reappear, or bursts appear. But, as observations and experience show, there are periods when fluctuations are minimal. Obviously, the most accurate shooting will be in the production of shots during periods of minimal fluctuations.
After raising the arm and aiming the weapon, the oscillations begin to fade and continue to be insignificant for some time, and then increase and their separate bursts appear. In addition, over time, the eye gets tired, and the aiming device becomes blurry, which makes it difficult to control the position. level fly in the slot. Weakened control of the sight against the background of increasing oscillations and bursts leads to distant breaks and misses.
One of the options for weapon oscillation is shown in Figure 16, which shows the period of minimum amplitude, which is most favorable for a well-aimed shot. Often this period lasts from 5 to 20 seconds.
It is during this period that a “bold” pull on the trigger should occur with control of the constant movement of the index finger with a fixed position of the muscles of the hand, without paying attention to the position of the weapon on the target. The shot should come as a complete surprise to the shooter.
For a better understanding of the concept of an unexpected shot, you can introduce the concept of an element of surprise (Fig. 17).
Fig.16. Shot production scheme
Fig.17. The element of surprise shot.
The shooter knows that the shot will occur in a period, say, from 5 to 20 seconds, but does not know at what particular second. When the trigger is evenly pressed without boosting and undermining, the time for breaking the trigger for any series of shots will have different values, but it must necessarily fall within the specified time interval.
Without purposeful boosting, it is impossible to repeat the trigger release in exactly the same time (every time at the same moment from the start of pressing the trigger). And the time characteristic for each trigger failure at a certain interval is the element of surprise of the shot, or in other words, the probability of the occurrence of the trigger pull event. Those. the moment of descent is a random event on a time interval from 5 to 20 seconds.
With slow firing, the element of surprise can reach up to several seconds, and with high-speed firing, up to hundredths of a second. But in any case, the shot should be unexpected, which is a necessary condition for avoiding gross errors that are the result of waiting for a shot.
4. The reaction of the body to the expected shot.
The most gross errors, often leading to long breaks and misses, are caused by the body's reaction to the expected shot.
The recoil and loud sound that accompany the phenomenon of a shot cause a certain fear in the shooter, as a result of which convulsive contractions of various muscle groups occur, leading to significant angular deviations of the weapon from the aiming position until the bullet leaves the bore. Often, the deflection of the weapon begins before the moment the trigger is released from the cocking, or approximately at the beginning of its failure.
The time from trigger release to bullet departure is very short and, for example, for the IZH-71 pistol is only 0.0046 s. Therefore, it is difficult for an inexperienced shooter to see their mistakes. Although it is possible, if you focus on the top of the front sight, and follow its "nod" before the recoil occurs. By the mark of the fly offset, it is possible with a very high probability to determine the dignity of the hole even before it is visually detected on the target.
When viewed from the side, it is clearly seen how the weapons of non-hitting shooters make significant nods immediately before the shot itself, mostly downwards. These deviations arise from the fact that the hand, waiting for a shot, while pressing the trigger, "grabs" the gun, automatically trying to resist the upcoming recoil. As a result, the weapon turns with the muzzle down, in addition, the shoulder moves forward, additionally lowering the arm (Fig. 18). Most often in such cases, the bullet hits below the target, and sometimes into the ground in front of the target. Although deviations in any other direction are possible.
In addition, the expected shot is accompanied by a blink of an eye, and then it is simply impossible to see your mistakes.
An experiment is very indicative, when a trainee is imperceptibly mixed with training cartridges among live cartridges in the magazine. In this case, the reaction of the body to a blank trigger will necessarily be the same as to a real shot, and the “twitching” of the weapon is clearly visible, and by the deviation of the front sight, one can approximately imagine the possible deviation of the hole, using the calculations given in section “3.1. Aiming".
With the correct execution of the shot, the weapon, after recoil and completion of the reload cycle, returns exactly to the aiming position due to the work of muscle memory. Visually for the shooter, the front sight returns to the slot, and the sight returns to the target. This is important when mastering the perception of the sensations of an unexpected shot, and is especially necessary when working on speed exercises with a series of shots.
If, after firing, the weapon does not return to the aiming position, this indicates a change in the efforts of the muscles holding the weapon, and it is necessary to identify the causes of these errors. For those shooters who constantly send bullets under the target, it is very clearly visible how the barrel of the weapon is turned down after the shot.
Fig.18. The reaction of the body to the expected shot
5. Catching "tens".
Any person, regardless of qualification, when he is on the firing line, subconsciously has a desire to make the next shot the most accurate in his life. I want to be sure to get into the top ten, and even better in its very center. it emotional condition leads to the fact that instead of technically correct processing of the trigger and control over their actions, the position of the weapon on the target begins to be clarified and an irresistible desire arises to quickly squeeze the trigger when the front sight is perfectly aligned with the aiming point. If the sight is even slightly shifted to the side, then the index finger automatically stops pressing and, at a favorable moment, pulls the trigger again. But the vestibular apparatus of a person is designed in such a way that the brain cannot give a command to contract only one muscle. For this reason, both nearby muscles and completely foreign ones will necessarily contract. As a result, angular deviations of the weapon occur with the appearance of separations, although the shooter saw that the weapon was perfectly aimed at the target. Therefore, in no case should you specify the position of the sight on the target and catch the desired "top ten".
The most blunder aiming always gives a smaller hole deviation than the slightest trigger error! This axiom must be remembered before each shot. It is better to aim incorrectly and pull the trigger correctly than to aim the "ten" and pull the trigger. A more highly skilled shooter is different in that his shooting may be less accurate, but it will be stable and not have gaps. For consistent results, each shot must be fired boldly with confident and polished shooter movements. The fear of a bad shot and its delay will cause the Hand with the weapon to shudder, lead to haste in firing the shot and, as a result, to jerking the trigger. And in this case, the miss will be inevitable.
In order to analyze and better understand the actions performed during firing, the firing technique was considered according to individual elements. But it is quite obvious that the process of producing a well-aimed shot is an inseparable set of various components performed in parallel, most closely interconnected, the accuracy of the bullet hit and the guaranteed hitting of the target depend on the correct implementation of each of them.
General arrangement and operation of parts and mechanisms. The pistol is simple in design and handling, small in size, comfortable to carry and always ready for action. A pistol is a self-loading weapon, since it is automatically reloaded during firing. The operation of the automatic pistol is based on the principle of using the recoil of a free shutter . The shutter with the barrel has no clutch. The reliability of locking the bore during firing is achieved by a large mass of the bolt and the force of the return spring. Due to the presence in the pistol of a self-cocking trigger mechanism of the trigger type, it is possible to quickly open fire by directly pressing the tail of the trigger without first cocking the trigger.
The safety of handling the gun is ensured by a reliable safety lock. The pistol has a safety located on the left side of the slide. In addition, the trigger automatically becomes safety cocked under the action of the mainspring after the trigger is released (the "hang up" trigger) and when the trigger is released.
After the trigger is released, the trigger rod under the action of a narrow feather of the mainspring will move to the rear extreme position. The cocking lever and the sear will go down, the sear will press against the trigger under the action of its spring, and the trigger will automatically engage the safety cock.
To fire a shot, you must press the trigger with your index finger. The trigger at the same time strikes the drummer, which breaks the primer of the cartridge. As a result of this, the powder charge ignites and a large amount of powder gases is formed. Bullet pressure of powder gases is ejected from the bore. The shutter under the pressure of gases transmitted through the bottom of the sleeve moves back, holding the sleeve with the ejector and compressing the return spring. The sleeve, upon meeting with the reflector, is thrown out through the shutter window, and the trigger becomes cocked.
Moving back to failure, the shutter under the action of the return spring returns forward. When moving forward, the bolt sends a cartridge from the magazine into the chamber. The bore is locked by a blowback; the gun is ready to fire again.
To fire the next shot, you must release the trigger, and then press it again. So the shooting will be carried out until the cartridges in the store are completely used up.
When all the cartridges from the magazine are used up, the shutter becomes on the shutter delay and remains in the rear position.
The main parts of the PM and their purpose
PM consists of the following main parts and mechanisms:
- frame with barrel and trigger guard;
- bolt with striker, ejector and fuse;
- return spring;
- trigger mechanism (a trigger, a sear with a spring, a trigger, a trigger rod with a cocking lever, a mainspring and a mainspring valve);
- screw handle;
- shutter delay;
- score.
Frame serves to connect all parts of the gun.
Trunk serves to direct the flight of the bullet.
trigger guard serves to protect the tail of the trigger from inadvertent pressing.
Drummer serves to break the capsule.
Fuse serves to ensure safe handling of the pistol.
The shop serves to hold eight rounds.
The shop consists of:
- Store cases (connects all parts of the store).
- Submitter (used to supply cartridges).
- Feeder springs (serves to feed up the feeder with cartridges).
- Magazine covers (Closes the store.)
Trigger pull with cocking lever serves to release the trigger from the cocking and cock the trigger when the trigger is pressed on the tail.
Action spring serves to actuate the trigger, cocking lever and trigger pull.
Disassembly and assembly of small arms and grenade launchers.
Disassembly may be incomplete or complete. Partial disassembly is carried out for cleaning, lubricating and inspecting weapons, complete - for cleaning when the weapon is heavily soiled, after being exposed to rain or snow, when switching to a new lubricant, as well as during repairs.Frequent complete disassembly of weapons is not allowed, as it accelerates the wear of parts and mechanisms.
When disassembling and assembling weapons, the following rules must be observed:
- disassembly and assembly should be carried out on a table or bench, and in the field - on a clean bedding;
- put parts and mechanisms in the order of disassembly, handle them carefully, avoid excessive efforts and sharp blows;
- when assembling, pay attention to the numbering of parts so as not to confuse them with parts of other weapons.
Order incomplete disassembly PM:
- Remove the magazine from the base of the handle.
- Put the shutter on the shutter delay and check the presence of a cartridge in the chamber.
- Separate the shutter from the frame.
- Remove the return spring from the barrel.
Reassemble the gun after incomplete disassembly in reverse order.
Check the correct assembly of the pistol after incomplete disassembly.
Turn off the fuse (lower the flag down). Move the shutter to the rear position and release it. The shutter, having moved forward a little, becomes on the shutter delay and remains in the rear position. Pressing with your thumb right hand to the shutter delay, release the shutter. The bolt under the action of the return spring should vigorously return to the forward position, and the trigger should be cocked. Turn on the fuse (raise the flag up). The trigger should break off the combat platoon and block.
Full disassembly procedure:
- Perform partial disassembly.
- Disassemble frame:
- separate the sear and slide delay from the frame.
- separate the handle from the base of the handle and the mainspring from the frame.
- separate the trigger from the frame.
- separate the trigger rod with the cocking lever from the frame.
- separate the trigger from the frame.
- Disassemble shutter:
- separate the fuse from the shutter;
- separate the drummer from the bolt;
- separate the ejector from the shutter.
- Dismantle shop:
- remove the magazine cover;
- remove the feeder spring;
- take out the dispenser.
Assembly is carried out in reverse order.
Check the correct operation of parts and mechanisms after assembly.
Delays when firing from PM
| Delays | Reasons for delays | Ways to eliminate delays |
| 1. MISSION. The shutter is in the extreme forward position, the trigger is released, but the shot did not occur |
|
|
| 2. UNCLOSING THE CHUCK WITH THE SHUTTER. The shutter stopped before reaching the extreme forward position, the trigger cannot be released |
|

We will talk about such concepts as "trigger" and "trigger".
The reason that prompted me to create this post was the stubborn repetition of the same mistake by most ignorant citizens.
It just so happens that many, many people believe that if a firearm - whether it be a revolver, a pistol, a gun or something else - pull the trigger, then a shot will occur. This delusion with persistence worthy of better application is repeated everywhere and everywhere, but not only at the everyday level - in conversations ordinary people, but also, what is most terrible, on television - announcers and presenters, in films - translators and from the stage - performers.
How many times have you heard how from the screen some “bad person” according to the plot of the film says: “move and I will pull the trigger” or “now I will pull the trigger and your head will shatter into pieces”. Hundreds, or even thousands of times. And what is the result? As a result, everyone is sure that when the trigger is pressed, a shot occurs (looking ahead, I will say that this is not so). Thanks to whom? Translation studios for television channels (of which, by the way, half of the translators and editors need to be kicked out for mediocre translations and incompetence).
However, not all films are translated by Channel One. There are still a good fifty studios that are engaged in translating those films that flooded the counters of video stores, rentals and our racks for discs and gigabytes on the HDD. Alas, there is no truth here. And then from the screens we are stubbornly frightened by shots when the trigger is pressed. Even the studios that proudly proclaim that they are doing the "correct" translations repeat the same mistake!
Well, newspapers and news sites are simply teeming with sensational phrases, like “The dog pulled the trigger and wounded the owner. They fought for prey”, “Who pulled the trigger” or “Cheney on the emergency on the hunt: “I was the one who pulled the trigger”

There are more than enough examples.
And now let's finally figure out what happens if you "pull" the trigger.
Looking at the device of a typical S&W revolver, many will already understand what it is. That “trigger” that everyone stubbornly pulls turns out to be the trigger, which, generally speaking, has never been a secret.
S&W revolver device. trigger. Trigger
Let's take a very short look at how the shot takes place, and what role is assigned to the trigger.
Single action revolvers allow each shot to be fired only after pre-cocking. The shooter each time must pull the trigger back with his finger (cock the trigger). In this case, the trigger will be cocked, and the drum will automatically rotate, combining the chamber with the next cartridge with the barrel. Pressing the trigger releases the hammer and fires. The next shot requires a new cocking of the hammer. Much more common are double-action revolvers, the mechanisms of which, in addition to the method of firing described above, also allow self-cocking fire.
Self-cocking shooting is carried out by pressing the trigger without first cocking the hammer. In this case, the trigger moves back, and the drum rotates until it aligns with the barrel of the next chamber. Having reached the extreme rear position, the trigger, without becoming cocked, is released and, rushing forward, breaks the primer, firing a shot. For the next shot, you need to stop pulling the trigger, give it the opportunity to take its original position, and then repeat the pressure.
More details on the technical side of the issue can be found, for example, in an article on small arms.http://www.krugosvet.ru/articles/11/1001140/print.htm
Historical reference. In the guns of the XV century, as such, there was no trigger and trigger. The role of the trigger was performed by a thin metal strip in the form of the Latin letter S, called "serpentine". Serpentine was mounted on an axis in the recess of the bed. When the shooter pressed the lower end of the serpentine, its upper end with a clamp, in which the smoldering wick was attached, fell and touched the firing gunpowder.
Someone will say that books about weapons are specific and hard-to-reach literature. Well, let's open the most common Dictionary of the Russian Language, ed. Ozhegov:
“Trigger, -rka, m. Part of the percussion mechanism in firearms. Lower to. || adj. kurkovy, th, th. "
That is, even Ozhegov's dictionary advises to "pull" the trigger (by means of, as we found out, pulling the trigger), and not to pull it.
Let's take a look, at the same time, in the "Glossary":
“The trigger is a part of the firing mechanism of a firearm, designed to strike a cartridge primer or striker in order to ignite the powder charge when fired.”
"Trigger - a part of the trigger mechanism that is directly affected by the shooter to open or cease fire."
TOTAL
Obviously, the process of “pulling the trigger” (if this phrase has the right to exist at all) can lead to only one result - cocking this very trigger, which, in turn, will only lead to a decrease in the effort that needs to be applied to pull the trigger hook, so that he (automatically) pulls the trigger and, accordingly, a shot occurs. Without pulling the trigger, there will be no shot! As for the trigger, modern weapons the shooter does not interact with him at all.
Moreover, it becomes clear (I hope) that saying/writing "pull the trigger" in the sense of "pull the trigger" is illiterate, and using the phrase "pull the trigger" in the meaning of "cock the trigger" is at least not entirely correct, because j. the process of cocking the trigger is not quite pressing - it is rather pulling back.
