An ammunition loading system for conveying ammunition between a magazine platform and a hull region, includes a lifting mechanism (24) to lift an ammunition magazine (20) into the magazine compartment (16) from the hull region (18). The ammunition magazine (20) contains an ammunition belt (34) of linked ammunition cartridges (36) to be fed into a machine gun (12), the magazine including a front opening (26'), enabling a leading end of the ammunition belt to be accessible for feeding the machine gun and for linking with a trailing end of another ammunition belt, and a rear opening (26''), enabling a trailing end of the ammunition belt to be accessible for linking with a leading end of another ammunition belt. An arrangement of consecutive and adjacent ammunition magazines (20a, 20b) allows movement of an ammunition belt from the distal magazine (20b) into the proximal magazine (20a) towards the machine gun (12) during operation, enabling continuous feeding of ammunition belts into the machine gun. |
