Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0684442A1] The feeder consists of a magazine containing the bullets, situated parallel to the gun barrel (5), with the bullets (2) lying perpendicular to the barrel and beneath it. The bullets are transferred to the barrel by a mechanism which co-operates with the movement of the breech block (3) and comprises two levers (6,7) controlled by the breech block. During an initial phase, the movement of a lifter (8) perpendicular to the axis of the barrel, lifts the bullet at the end of the magazine and introduces it into a guide and, during a second phase, the lift and the guide are turned through 90 degrees to align the bullet with the barrel. In a third phase the lifter moves towards the barrel and the guide is freed. <IMAGE>
