This invention relates to an ammunition loading assembly ( 10 ) for loading a projectil ( 12 ) into a barrel ( 14 ) of a gun comprising an urging member ( 16 ) for urging the projectile ( 12 ) into the said barrel ( 14 ). The assembly ( 10 ) further includes a drive means ( 18 ) for driving the urging member ( 16 ) between a projectile receiving position outside the barrel ( 14 ) and a projectile delivery position inside the chamber ( 20 ) of the gun. The drive means ( 18 ) includes a drive chain assembly ( 22 ), for driving the urging member ( 16 ) between the projectile receiving and delivery positions. The drive chain assembly ( 22 ), is rigid in all directions but one, the arrangement being such that the drive chain assembly ( 22 ) pushes the urging member ( 16 ) from the projectile receiving position to the projectile delivery position and pulls the urging member ( 16 ) from the projectile position to the projectile receiving position. The assembly further includes first and second chain-retaining devices ( 42, 44 ) for limiting curving of the chain assembly and guiding the chain when moving out of the magazine.
