ABSTRACT:
A device for use in a rapid-fire weapons system wherein a gun is movable in both elevation and azimuth. The device is designed to have a high round storage capacity and transfers rounds across the azimuth axis, thus allowing the gun to move in azimuth with respect to the magazine. The storage, or accumulation, feature of the device allows rounds to be fed to the gun before the magazine has been driven to the demand rate.
The device also provides a closed loop round carrier system which allows for the return of expended round casings to the magazine.
