Abstract

See full text

Cartridges (5) are guided during a loading phase shortly before reaching the automatic cannon (1) onto a first track, which differs from the conveying direction of the conveyor chain (14) and are guided at a greater distance from the revolving drum (13) around the shaft (15) of the revolving drum, and conveyed on. In a firing phase, the cartridges (5) are guided shortly before reaching the automatic cannon (1) onto a second track, which differs from the conveying direction of the conveyor chain (14), are guided around the shaft (15) of the revolving drum (13), and are sequentially brought into a firing position directly behind the revolving drum. After having been fired and ejected, the empty cartridge cases (6) are caught and are transported on the first track into a magazine (4).
