Note lever behind trigger, this is the safety, it manually blocks the trigger from moving far enough to the rear to release the hammer. On the semi-auto guns it would only rotate to the left (fire) where it would lie in the groove visible. On AVT40's there is another groove on the right side of the stock & the safety lever would rotate to the right for the full auto position. There are a few rifles around where the full auto safety was used & it will rotate to the right but these guns ARE NOT auto, there are other differences in the trigger groups.
