ABSTRACT:
A device for storing and loading unbelted ammunition in a turret equipped with a tubular weapon, the tubular weapon being equipped with one shaft magazine on either side, with a ring magazine to receive ammunition disposed in the turret basket. Each respective shaft magazine can be supplied with ammunition by way of an associated lifting device. A ring magazine is disposed in a turret basket so as to be rotatable about its axis by means of a drive. Vertical, radially oriented shafts are provided in the ring magazine to receive ammunition and an auxiliary shaft device fixed to the turret is disposed above the ring magazine, with the shaft magazines being articulated to the tubular weapon in such a manner that their shafts, with the tubular weapon in an indexed position, are aligned with the auxiliary shafts of the auxiliary shaft device which are an upward extension of the shafts of ring magazine therebelow, whereby any two types of freely selectable ammunition may be loaded into the respective shaft magazines via the ring magazine and auxiliary shaft device.
