ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for loading tubular weapons with a propellant charge chamber comprises a loading arm pivotably mounted on the pivot bearing of the barrel and having a loading tray for a shell and a rammer engaging on the shell bottom and having a drive, the shell being brought by means of the loading arm into a starting position aligned with the barrel bore axis and transported by means of the rammer into the barrel, into whose rifling it is rammed. In order to allow a completely satisfactory ramming, the loading tray can be moved in a guide on the loading arm between the starting position and a support position centered on the barrel and that the rammer has a support retracted in the starting position and engaging on the shell bottom and which can be brought into a stretched position synchronously with the movement of the loading tray into the support position and in said stretched position can be moved in a guide by means of the drive relative to the loading tray and while accelerating the shell into the barrel.
