ABSTRACT:
The disc-type ammunition channel contains a predetermined number of discs or lamellae arranged adjacent one another and which can be rotated in a substantially cylindrical housing. The diameter of the discs or lamellae and of the cylindrical housing is smaller than the length of the cartridges to be passed therethrough. The tip ends of the projectiles of the cartridges protrude from the discs or lamellae into a housing member which is formed by two substantially helically shaped walls and a substantially cylindrical wall. Rotation of the discs or lamellae as a function of the elevation of the firing weapon is insured by a rod which is secured at one of its ends to a stationary housing member and at the other one of its ends to an elevatable housing member by means of rubber joints. The rod extends through elongated or oblong slots provided in the discs.
