Automation of the loading process in the case of a tube weapon (gun or mortar)

摘要

The tube weapon has a device for automating the loading process in the case of separate ammunition magazines for the projectile bodies and the propellant charge bodies which are optionally caseless. The tube weapon (1) has a firing chamber (5, 7), which is split in two, for accommodating the projectile body (2) and the propellant charge body (3). The two firing chambers (5, 7) can be of a different structural type and can be combined with one another. <IMAGE>
