Toggle actions are a relatively exotic locking system that are relatively common and wellknown because the system was used in a pair of particularly successful early guns: the Luger and Maxim/Vickers. There have also been toggleaction shotguns, military rifles, sporting rifles, and submachine guns, but the system went out of favor by the 1930s (except in the mind of one Adolf Furrer).

Most toggleaction designs use the toggle as a locked breech system, unlocked by a secondary operating system (usually short recoil). However, toggle system can also be the basis for delayed blowback actions, as in the Pedersen rifle.
