ABSTRACT:
A projectile assembly comprising a carrier and a projectile arranged for insertion in the unmodified breech of a gun, the carrier having a ramming piston which urges the projectile into the barrel of the gun ready for firing whereupon the carrier is ejected and replaced by a propellant cartridge for firing the projectile from the barrel. The assembly is suitable for use in a belt fed automatic gun in which projectile assemblies are alternately interspersed with propellant cartridges such that a projectile is placed in the gun barrel by the projectile carrier, the carrier is ejected and then the next item on the belt, a propellant cartridge is placed in the breech for firing the gun.
