Also, No. 30 in the diagram is known as the rebound slide or block, and this rebound slide is positioned right behind the trigger on an internal part of the weapon. When the trigger is pulled, the recoil slide runs in a horizontal direction. As you can see by the larger drawing right here—it is a small camming action. It comes up, and is being pushed back.
Mr. Eisenberg. That is in the middle of the second page of the exhibit.
Mr. Cunningham. Now, do you see the rounded portion of the hammer right here, right in front of the notch?
Mr. Cunningham. Number—on No. 42, the hammer, on the bottom, right next to the notch that the sear engages, is a rounded portion. That is—in actuality, this rebound slide acts as an internal safety, so the hammer cannot go forward unless the trigger is pulled or it is cocked, because it is in the way. It cannot go all the way forward, due to the fact that—right there you can see it very plainly in the schematic numbered drawing on page 2.
Mr. Eisenberg. The number you are pointing to is what?
Mr. Cunningham. It is on the trigger, number——
Mr. Eisenberg. Forty-two?
Mr. Cunningham. Not trigger—the hammer, No. 34.
By the way, on the prior 42 I meant 34. I got the wrong number. I was referring to the right piece, but the wrong number.
