The Turkish military and, less often, policemen put some mysterious plastic detail on the trigger of their machine guns and rifles. It practically completely covers the index finger lying on the hook. From the outside, all this looks frankly strange, and therefore extremely interesting for a person not privy to the specifics of the service of local security officials.
As it often happens, only from the outside everything looks complicated, strange and incomprehensible. One has only to go a little deeper into the details, as everything falls into place. Every time you are convinced that everything ingenious is simple. This is exactly the case with the mysterious plastic trigger box, which is widely used in the Turkish army. In fact, not only in her. This is because it is an external safety device for the weapon.
Such an external fuse is used to protect against an arbitrary shot in case the trigger is pressed not by a fighter, but by something else. What could it be? Hook release can be triggered by items of equipment, as well as by items on the ground, if the soldier is crawling and at the same time could not (forgot, did not have the opportunity) to put the weapon on "normal" fuse.

On the Internet, you can also find references to the fact that such boxes are allegedly set, and the trigger is so that the soldiers do not have the opportunity to commit suicide with their own weapons. However, this version is extremely contrived and frankly untenable, since the fuse box is quite easily unfastened and just as easily fastened back.
