DEVICE FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSFER OF ROUNDS FOR FIREARM

摘要

A device for automatic transfer of rounds of ammunition is utilized for a large-calibre firearm, for ships or the like. The firearm has a magazine arranged on its elevating mass, and the firearm is set at a predetermined elevation for loading of the magazine. A laterally displaceable cassette is arranged to receive rounds fed to it in an infeed position, and in an outfeed position to transfer rounds to the magazine when this has assumed the loading position. For the transfer of rounds from the cassette to the magazine of the firearm the potential energy of the rounds is utilized, so that no special transferring means working in the magazine need be utilized for this transfer.
