| percuté struck position (?) Explanation: "Percuter" is "to strike". To store a weapon, you must never have the pin backwards, 'cause it could inadvertently strike, so, the pin must be "onwards" as it is when you have fired a shot. Hope it may be of some help. |

3 hrs confidence:
| percuté fired Explanation: As someone who had the pleasure (!) of doing their military service in France, this is something I remember well. In order to check the chamber was empty proir to storage, a gun would be armed then the trigger pulled to verify there was no bullet. I think here the action of pulling the trigger is "percuté" but I am afraid I cannot come up with a decent word in English. I just hope the explanation will help. |
