The invention relates to a firing module with a housing ( 1 ), mounted such as to rotate on a, carrier construction (T), in which a heavy weapon (W) is mounted such as to pivot n elevation The shells ( 4.11 ) stored vertically in the shell magazine ( 4.1 ) are supplied to the loading tray ( 5.1 ) of a shell ram by means of a shell transporter ( 6 ), which is arranged on the free end of a shell transfer arm ( 5 ). The shell transfer arm ( 5 ) can be pivoted from a raised position, in which the loading tray ( 5.1 ) is arranged running along the bore centre axis (R) of the weapon into a lowered position in which the shells from the shell transporter are introduced into the essentially vertical loading tray. The shell magazine and the shell transporter are both arranged in the housing in the region in front of the trunnions. At least one propellant magazine ( 7.1 ) is arranged in the housing in the region alongside or behind the trunnions. Propellant charges are introduced into the weapon (W) by means of a fully automatically operating propellant charge introduction device, which comprises a pivoting propellant charge introduction tray ( 8.11 ) with a propellant ram, in the region behind the weapon (W).
