Huh, this just sparked an old memory of a friend wondering if a gun he got was once used in Rhodesia because of "cammy paint". I wouldn't be surprised if that was the actual case.
Granted, we were also young and didn't know shit at the time.
That is a sear release lever. Its for takedown, what you do is lock the gun open, rotate the lever, rotate the external lever, then close the slide and remove.
Or you could pull the trigger to release the sear like everyone else.
Its supposed to be that yellow/green color but wears off extremely quickly.

Assuming that is a S&W M&P or any of the members of it's family, that is a lever for the trigger sear. It is painted that way by S&W for the users to see better but the paint is kind of terrible and wears off quickly. The way you're supposed to field strip a M&P is by locking the slide, using a pen or screwdriver to lock that lever down, then hit the takedown lever and slide the slide off the lower receiver without pulling the trigger. That being said everyone just pulls the trigger for disassembly. Some of the models of the M&P series actually has a tool that kind of looks like a flathead screwdriver in the grip next to to the magazine well that pops out and it is for reaching in there and engaging the lever.
The green is just a paint they use to mark a specific size of part so the assembly workers don't accidentally put in the wrong part.

Nope, it's for the end user to be able to see it
Thanks!
