Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0694750A1] A munition storage unit (3) is formed by a pair of magazines (G1,G2) containing individual rounds. Each magazine includes a bidirectional conveyor (25) which supports and moves the rounds within the magazine. An intermediate transfer mechanism (9) is located between the two magazines, with a bidirectional actuator (37) cooperating with the conveyors of both magazines. The actuator receives rounds from either magazine and moves them towards a supply unit for the firearm chamber. Movement of the two conveyors and the actuator is controlled and synchronised by a system of drive gears. A guide shutter (70) is arranged between the magazines and below the actuator, and is movable to control the supply of rounds from one magazine or the other. <IMAGE>
