Firearms use triggers to initiate the firing of a cartridge seated within the gun barrel chamber.This is accomplished by actuating a striking device through a combination of mainspring (which stores elastic energy), a trap mechanism that can hold the spring under tension, an intermediate mechanism to transmit the kinetic energy from the spring releasing, and a firing pin to eventually strike ...

The 7.8mm Bergmann was designed in direct competition with the 7.63×25mm Mauser cartridge, used in the rival Mauser C96 pistol design.

Most were sold with a hollow shoulder stock.
