Enskotsutlösare

Enskotsutlösare refers to a type of firearm trigger mechanism that fires a single shot when actuated. This is in contrast to automatic or burst-fire mechanisms that can fire multiple rounds with a single trigger pull. The term "enskotsutlösare" is Swedish and directly translates to "single-shot trigger."

In most firearms, the trigger is a component designed to initiate the firing sequence. For a single-shot trigger, once the trigger is pulled and the hammer or striker falls to discharge the round, the trigger must be released and re-pulled to fire again. This is a fundamental safety feature and a characteristic of many common firearm types, including bolt-action rifles, lever-action rifles, shotguns, and most handguns.

The design of an enskotsutlösare can vary significantly depending on the firearm. However, the core principle remains the same: a single actuation results in a single discharge. This design is ubiquitous in firearms intended for hunting, sport shooting, and self-defense where controlled firing is paramount. The operation of an enskotsutlösare is a key element in the safe and effective use of firearms.
