ABSTRACT:
A device for automatic transfer of rounds of ammunition is utilized for a large-calibre firearm, for instance for ships or the like. The firearm comprises a magazine arranged on its elevating mass, and the firearm is set at a predetermined elevation at the loading of the magazine. Rounds are conveyed from an ammunition store via the underside of the mounting to the top of the mounting. A laterally displaceable cassette is arranged to receive rounds fed to it in an infeed position, and in an outfeed position to transfer rounds to the magazine when this has assumed the loading position. For the transfer of rounds from the cassette to the magazine of the firearm the potential energy of the rounds is utilized, so that no special transferring means working in the magazine need be utilized for this transfer.
