They had a "safety" with the hammer back one click. Most of the old ones I have seen could be fired from that with a hard trigger pull.

That's because that notch is not really a safety. It is just there to "catch" the hammer if it slips off your thumb while cocking. You are NOT supposed to load a W94, put the hammer on half-cock, and then head off into the woods.

However, I thought that was a safety feature designed to make it less likely to negligently discharge?

There is a small pin that protrudes from the bottom of the stock. That pin has to be depressed by the rear of the lever before it will fire. Different guns require different amounts of force.
