Abstract
A trigger assembly cooperates with a planar interlock, wherein the plane of the interlock includes a longitudinal axis of the barrel in a break barrel airgun. The trigger assembly includes a primary sear and a secondary sear, wherein the secondary sear is contacted by the interlock during cocking of the airgun. The contact of the interlock and the secondary sear is independent of a position of a safety in the trigger assembly.
