Abstract
The invention relates to an arrangement (18) for retrieving large-calibre ammunition (10), such as shells, from an ammunition magazine and transferring these to a loading and ramming position, in which the respective ammunition unit (10) is located directly behind and coaxially aligned with a barrel (20) of a large-calibre weapon which is mounted in such a way that it can pivot around a horizontal axis (22) to assume different elevation positions. The transferring arrangement comprises a swing arm (26) which is mounted in such a way that it can pivot around the said horizontal axis (22) between a retrieving position and a delivery position for each ammunition unit, and an ammunition pickup unit (30) which is mounted on the swing arm (26) in such a way that it can pivot. The ammunition pickup unit (30) is arranged to assume a first angular position relative to the swing arm (26) when this assumes its retrieving position, and to assume a second angular position relative to the swing arm when this assumes its delivery position.
