ABSTRACT:
A self-propelled gun is provided with a magazine arranged on the outside of or in the gun chassis which is then also located at the rear parts of the chassis. The gun is mounted on top of the chassis, so that the gun can be aimed in elevation and/or traverse in relation to the gun chassis. A round carrying part which is arranged in front of the magazine and under the rear parts of the gun is comprised in a device for feeding of ammunition from the magazine to the ramming position at the gun. Said device also comprises a longitudinal displacement mechanism arranged in the magazine for the respective rounds. When the respective rounds are received from the magazine, the round carrying part is set with its longitudinal direction coinciding with the longitudinal direction of the respective round and particularly coinciding with or parallel to the longitudinal axis of the gun. The round carrying part is movably fastened in a unit which can displace the round carrying part in the vertical direction from the feeding position in front of the magazine to the ramming position. Guiding means are arranged to actuate the round carrying part automatically for its setting to the prevailing position of the gun in elevation and/or traverse.
