Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0525373A1] Devices for feeding cartridges (5, 6), primarily of two different munition types A or B, to Gatling guns (1) can be constructed in a fixed location if, in addition to the two transportation devices (3, 4), storage devices (10) are used for intermediate storage of the empty cases (11, 12) during repositioning after a firing shot. Empty cases (11, 12) are prevented from being transported by the Gatling gun (1), during repositioning and it is achieved that the Gatling gun (1) is free of empty cases (11, 12) before a renewed firing shot. In addition, it is made possible to fire without interruption from two magazines, using cartridges of a single munition type. <IMAGE>
