Part of this trend in creating modern rifles in the old hammer design or new hammer designs is akin to the 'safties' that uncock doubles or bolt action rifles such as the Blaser, Krieghoff etc.

I believe there are legal requirements or ramifications in requiring firearms to be "safe" and to be able to be uncocked in the EU.

Therefore rifles and shotguns that can be loaded but uncocked etc.

BTW I think they have the name just perfect "Hahnwaffen"

The "Hahn" of course relating to the cocking feature of the rifles/guns.
