Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0017591A2] 1. Fighting vehicle comprising a superstructure (1) within which is located a fixed magazine (12) for storing ammunition, a gun (5) mounted to swivel about a horizontal axis on the superstructure (1), at the rear of which is mounted to articulate an oscillating block (6) containing a spare ammunition magazine (7) and capable of moving so as to come up against the superstructure (1) in a reloading position in which the movable magazine (7) positions itself in the extension of the fixed magazine (12) so as to allow the transfer of a fresh reserve of ammunition, characterized in that the oscillating block (6) is associated with a mechanism for rotational displacement, making it possible to direct it independently of the gun (5) so as to bring the movable magazine (7) into the re-loading position on the fixed magazine (12) whilst the gun (5) remains in the firing position.
