ABSTRACT:
An automatic munition device, mobile in translation between a weapon and a fixed feeder, having means to transfer the munition in a path defined by an arc of a circle between the fixed feeder and the weapon, the munition being moved parallel to the fixed feeder and perpendicular to the translation motion of the munition. The feed device has a variable-pitch helical ramp having the same center as the center of the arc, one end of the ramp being integral with the weapon and the other end integral with the fixed feeder. The ramp also has guiding means to position the munition axially during feeding of the munition.
