A trigger assembly includes a selector operable between a safe position, a semiautomatic fire position, and an automatic fire position. In one example, the assembly includes a trigger rotatable between a resting position and a pulled position, a disconnector pivotable between a first position where it is in the path of the operational rod, and a second position where it is out of the path of the operational rod. A sear is pivotable between an engaged position and a disengaged position and is biased to the engaged position where it is positioned in the path of the operational rod. A sear link is pivotably connected to the trigger, such that pulling the trigger moves the sear link into contact with the sear to pivot the sear towards the disengaged position. The sear link is spaced from the sear when the trigger is in the resting position.

A clutch assembly for a rotary machine gun includes a drive sleeve mountable to the gun, a clutch gear slidably and rotatably mounted on the sleeve, a clutch housing on the sleeve, a shifter in the housing, and a solenoid assembly secured to the housing. The clutch gear is configured to engage and rotate with the sleeve. A plunger on the sleeve urges the clutch gear away from engagement with the sleeve. The shifter is configured to push the clutch gear into engagement with the sleeve when actuated. The solenoid assembly includes a solenoid housing, a plunger configured to actuate the shifter, a plunger rod, a biasing member, and a lever on the plunger rod. The lever is manually pivotable to move the clutch gear to a neutral position wherein the gear is rotatable about the sleeve in either of two opposing directions until the solenoid assembly is electrically actuated.

A safing sector assembly includes a safing sector frame securable to a minigun main housing, a top cover hingedly attached to the frame, and a safing gate hingedly attached to the top cover. The frame includes an aft camming portion of an elliptical cam track of the minigun on an underside thereof. The top cover is rotatable, while the frame is secured to the main housing, between a closed position and an open position. The safing gate includes a forward camming portion of the elliptical cam track on an underside thereof and is rotatable between an armed position and a safe position. The safing gate is only rotatable to the armed position while the top cover is closed. The safing gate latches the top cover closed, so the top cover can only be opened while the safing gate is in the safe position.
