The invention relates to a system for loading a round such as a telescoped round into a pivoting chamber of a gun, in particular a medium caliber gun. The system comprises a feed device secured to the oscillating mass of the gun and laterally offset relative to the gun barrel. The feed device is situated between the trunnion axis of the gun and the pivoting chamber. The system further includes an insertion device for inserting a round into the chamber, which insertion device is secured to the recoil mass of the gun, is situated above the barrel, and lies substantially in the vertical plane in which the chamber pivots. The round is conveyed from the feed device to the insertion device by a feed star mounted to rotate about the barrel of the gun. |

A firearm comprises a chamber member, which is separate from the barrel and defines a chamber and which in a firing block, which is fixed to the receiver, is reciprocable between a firing position and a loading position in a direction which is transverse to the longitudinal direction of the barrel. When the chamber member is in its loading position its chamber is freely accessible and at one end communicates through a loading opening of the firing block with the interior of a magazine holder and at the other end communicates through an ejection opening of the firing block with an ejection shaft. For the performance of the loading and unloading operation, a slider is provided, which is movable in the longitudinal direction of the barrel and carries a feeder, which is movable from a first end position, in which the feeder is disposed on that side of the magazine holder which is opposite to the firing block, past said magazine holder toward the firing block as far as into the loading opening of said block.In order to ensure that the unloading operation will reliably be performed without a disturbance, the ejecting opening of the firing block has an edge portion which faces the chamber member when the latter is in its firing position and the firing block is provided in that edge portion with an ejecting nose, which is spaced from the inner edge of said edge portion and which merges into a deflecting surface, which is convexly curved from said inner edge to said nose, said nose protrudes as far as to the level of the adjacent inside surface of the chamber when the chamber member is in its loading position, and the movement of the chamber member from its loading position to its firing position is adapted to be initiated before the feeder reaches that end position in which the feeder extends into the loading opening. |

An active protection system (10) is disclosed as having a launch tube (12) with a round inner bore (44) that tapers from an open muzzle end (42) thereof toward a closed rear end (40) to facilitate loading of a cartridge (26) and to permit ejection thereof after firing. The cartridge (26) utilized has a metal case (28) that provides a liner for the launch tube and includes a sabot (116) for launching at least one projectile (120, 122) upon ignition of a propellant (114) by an ignitor (126). Transverse force is generated by utilizing a plurality of projectiles (120, 122) preferably embodied by an outer ring of cubical projectiles (120) and spherical projectiles (122) received within the outer ring so as to provide projectile dispersion that increases the probability of an impact with the intended target. |

A firearm, comprises a gun housing having a side opening and a gun barrel supported in the housing with a projectile bore which is alignable with a cartridge chamber of a cartridge holder. The cartridge holder is mounted on a bearing member which is journaled in the housing at a position overlying the barrel. A charge handle projects out of the housing and it is guided on the bearing member and is movable relative to the bearing member to cause rotation of the bearing member with the cartridge holder in order to project the cartridge chamber out of the side opening of the housing to a cartridge ejection and loading position. In the cartridge ejection and loading position, an injector pin, which is under the force of a compression spring, is actuated to drive an ejector pin through the chamber and eject any cartridge which may still remain in the chamber as a result of a misfire. The return movement of the charge handle under an action of a compression spring causes return of the cartridge holder, with a new cartridge positioned in the chamber, and it also effects the loading of the ejector pin for the next operation. |

An automatic weapon for use within a turret including means to seal substantially all of the gases generated during use within the weapon to prevent escape into the turret. The gun includes means to feed the cartridges in an orientation perpendicular to the gun barrel thus allowing use of a simple compact feed system, external of the gun, in which changes in gun elevation do not twist the ammunition feed belt and a means for ejecting the spent cartridges forwardly through the armour at the same location through which the barrel protrudes.

A gun for firing nails, bolts, etc., by the force generated by detonating an explosive cartridge includes a firing mechanism with a striker pin for detonating the cartridge by operating the firing mechanism. The gun further comprises an automatic firing mechanism including a hole of circular cross section for receiving therein the shell of the cartridge and has a further hole of circular cross section matching the bottom flange of the cartridge shell. The first hole has at its inside a successively decreasing diameter so that a junction between this hole and a third hole is obtained. The third hole has a smaller diameter than the second hole. The decrease of the diameter of the second hole starts at the point at which crimping of the cartridge shell commences when the cartridge is inserted into the cartridge chamber.
