ABSTRACT:
A loading device for large-caliber weapons allows for firing with rounds consisting of different types of projectiles and charges/cartridges of different sizes which are combinable with the projectiles upon being loaded into the weapon. The projectiles are placed in a first magazine at which a first transfer device is disposed. This first transfer device transfers each respective projectile to the axis of the bore of the weapon so as to make possible the interaction of the projectile with a ramming device which rams home each respective projectile placed in the axis of the bore. The charges/cartridges are placed in a second magazine at which second transfer devices are disposed, for transferring each respective charge/cartridge to a defined position behind the associated projectile rammed home by the ramming device. The transfer and ramming devices are arranged, together with magazine control devices and sweeper devices for the cartridges, to cofunction in a fully automatic loading function for the projectiles and the charges/cartridges.
