To guarantee a fully automatic loading flow of separate ammunition at a high rate, the magazine (8) is arranged behind the rear return position of the cannon (3) and has two stages, of which the upper is so designed to receive projectiles (9) that the middle projectile (9) is aligned with the cannon axis and the lower stage is designed for receiving propellant charges (10), the magazine (8) has a projectile ejector (11) and a propellant-charge ejector (21), the projectile ejector (11) being at the same time an initiator, in the rear return position of the cannon (3) there is a catching and holding device (12) releasable via the projectile ejector (11), a recuperator for the axial recuperation of the cannon (3) from the rear return position into the firing position is provided, and the loading shell (22) is arranged level with the stage for the magazine (8) receiving the propellant charges (10) and has a parallelogram suspension (23), via which the loading shell (22) can be pivoted into the loading position relative to the cannon (3). <IMAGE>
