By "Repeater" we mean classic bolt-action rifles based on the classic 98 system. After firing, the bolt is unlocked, opened, and pushed back by a manual movement, pulling the empty cartridge case out of the chamber and ejecting it from the weapon. When pushing the bolt forward, it glides over the magazine, takes a new cartridge from it, and feeds it from the rear into the chamber. Finally, the bolt is locked again and the firing mechanism is cocked - the weapon is ready to fire again. In the case of manual cocking, the cocking of the firing mechanism is done by a separate movement of the shooter immediately before the shot. Manual cockers are the safest technical option for a loaded weapon - only an unloaded weapon is even safer. For systems that automatically cock the firing mechanism by pushing the bolt forward again, a safety mechanism is necessary. The closer this is functionally to the firing pin, which is the part that ignites the cartridge, the safer the safety mechanism is. Therefore, the safest safety mechanism is the firing pin safety; the most common alternatives act on the hammer or the trigger.
