Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0458106A1] When feeding cartridges (20) from a container (13) to a firearm (10), there are problems if three requirements are intended to be met simultaneously, namely: a) the first cartridge (20) of a firing sequence is not intended to be fed until the acceleration of the weapon (10) has been completed; b) the last cartridge (20) of the firing sequence is intended to be fed before the weapon (10) has been braked; c) the empty cartridge cases (33) are intended to be fed back by means of the feed device to the container (13). <??>This object is achieved by means of the additional arrangement of an a) endless storage chain (34), b) a transfer point (36), c) a switching point (37) which can be switched over, in order to store empty cartridge cases (33) temporarily during the return of the transportation device. <IMAGE>
