Which feature blocks the trigger on the AK-47/AKM safety mechanism?

• A. applied safety
• B. auto-safety sear
• C. PPF
• D. Russia

Answer: (A)

The feature that blocks the trigger on the AK-47/AKM safety mechanism is the applied safety. When you flip the safety lever to the safe position, it mechanically engages the trigger/ sear path so the trigger cannot move and the hammer cannot be released. This is the intended function of the safety—actively applying a mechanism that prevents firing by stopping trigger action. The other terms don’t describe this blocking function: one refers to aspects involved in automatic-fire mechanisms, another isn’t a standard part of the AK safety concept, and the last option is just a country name with no relation to the mechanism.
