ABSTRACT:
A cartridge soft feed mechanism for presenting the cartridge to the chamber f a gun in such a way that the axis of the cartridge experiences no lateral or angular movement during chambering. The cartridge is telescoped into the chamber without ramping, reducing the probability of damage to the cartridge and reducing the chance of chambering stoppage. The feed mechanism is inactivated by a chambered round sensor for refilling the magazine or removing and replacing a chambered round in order to permit barrel movement between its forward extended position and its rearward ready position. While the current weapon (30mm Multishot Grenade Launcher) utilizes a fixed breech and movable barrel, the mechanism is adaptable to movable breech fixed barrel weapons.
