Which type of firearm safety mechanism prevents the gun from being fired unless the trigger is fully pulled?

  1. Safety notch

  2. Trigger lock

  3. Firing pin block

  4. Magazine disconnect

The correct answer is: Firing pin block

A firing pin block is a safety mechanism that prevents the gun from being fired unless the trigger is fully pulled. This is achieved by blocking the firing pin from striking the cartridge unless the trigger is fully pulled. The other options, such as safety notch and trigger lock, also provide some level of safety but do not specifically prevent the gun from firing unless the trigger is fully pulled. A magazine disconnect is designed to prevent the gun from firing when the magazine is removed, but it does not necessarily prevent firing with a fully pulled trigger.
