Tokyo Marui Glock 26

Understanding the Hammer Assembly &
A Theoretical Conversion to Full Automatic

August 29, 2005

Thank you.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll start by saying, I have read articles about people modifying their KWC Desert Eagle and TM Glock 19 so they fired full-auto. This inspired me to strip down my TM Glock 26 and really understand exactly how everything works.

I strongly believe that all of this information is correct. Please let me know if you notice any errors. I have yet to do this conversion, at the risk that I'm incorrect about something. Hence, me posting it here.

On a final note, I used the word, "we" a lot... I hope nobody minds being included. :P

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this picture, the hammer is not cocked and the trigger is at rest.

A - What I call the Semi-auto enforcer
B - Hammer catch
C - Hammer
D - Rod connecting the trigger to hammer assembly

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Understanding how this whole setup works:

Using our imaginations, we cock the hammer (C) back/down. During the process, the hammer catch (B) is slowly pushed backwards by the hammer, until the hammer is fully down, at which poing the hammer catch (B) clicks back into it's original position and holds the hammer down.

When the trigger is pulled slowly and softly, both the rod connecting the trigger to hammer assembly (D) and the Semi-Auto Enforcer (A) move backwards. When the trigger is pulled half way, your trigger finger can feel the tension on the hammer catch (B). When you pull the trigger the rest of the way, the hammer catch (B) moves backwards, and allows the hammer (C) to quickly spring forward/up. When the trigger is finally released, all the parts return back to their original position (pictured).

The purpose of part (A) is to enforce the semi-automatic function. It does this in conjunction with the internals of the gun's slide. When the slide is on, the Semi-Auto Enforcer (A) sits in a small metal track on the slide's internals. During the process of the slide moving back (either by hand or by shot), the height of its track decreases, which presses the Semi-Auto Enforcer (A) down (not back), and as well, cocks the hammer (C). When the slide returns to it's forward position, the Semi-Auto Enforcer (A) pops back up to it's original position (pictured), the hammer would remain cocked, and a BB would be loaded from the mag into the chamber.

In reality, we would be ready to fire away. But this is all imaginary, so remain clam, and stay with me...

When we pull the trigger all the way, (D) and (A) move back together, until (B) releases the hammer (C), which causes the hammer to press the button on the magazine that releases the gas. (Keep in mind, we are still holding the trigger all the way back.) When the gas is released, a BB is fired, and the slide blows back, which cocks the hammer, and presses (A) down.

Side note: When the trigger is pressed (when (A) is all the way back), if (A) is pressed down (which is what the slide does when it blows back), (A) will click into place (stay down), and release the tension on (B), preparing it to catch and hold the hammer the next time it's cocked.

On its way back to its forward/closed position, the slide loads another BB and gives (A) the room in needs to spring back up. But (A) isn't going anywhere. It's going to sit tight until we release the trigger. When we do finally release the trigger, (A) and (D) move back to their original position, leaving us again, with a cocked gun that's ready to be fired.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that we understand how the whole setup works, here's our theory:

Imagine we cut off the top of (A) with this handy dremel tool we have here. Now imagine the slide is on, the gun is cocked, and we are about to shoot.

When we press and hold the trigger and the slide blows back, it would no longer press (A) down.

Meaning (B) would stay in its back position until the trigger is released.

Meaning the hammer (C) would not be held in it's cocked position.

Meaning the only thing holding the hammer back & down is the hammer's metal track on the internal piece of the slide.

Meaning: as soon as the slide returns to it's forward position, the hammer will swing forward and strike the button on the mag. This will release a burst of gas, which will shoot the BB and blow the slide back (cocking the hammer). The slide will then return to it's forward position.

This process will continue until the last BB in the mag is shot, at which point the slide will blow back and stay back (the empty mag will press the slide catch up), anxiously awaiting another mag full of BBs to blow away on it's newly aquired setting: Fully Automatic.
