Abstract
An arrangement for retrieving large-caliber ammunition from an ammunition magazine and transferring these to a loading and ramming position, in which the respective ammunition unit is located directly behind and coaxially aligned with a barrel of a large-caliber weapon mounted in such a way that it can pivot around a horizontal axis to assume different elevation positions. The transferring arrangement comprises a swing arm pivotably mounted around the horizontal axis between a retrieving position and a delivery position for each ammunition unit, and an ammunition pickup unit which is mounted on the swing arm in such a way that it can pivot. The ammunition pickup unit is arranged to assume a first angular position relative to the swing arm when this assumes its retrieving position, and to assume a second angular position relative to the swing arm when this assumes its delivery position.
