ABSTRACT:
A loading pendulum is arranged at the rear of one side of a firearm suspended in an elevating mass. The loading pendulum has two arms which can be swung in the traversing direction of the firearm, the first ends of which are supported for co-ordinated driving by means of drive shafts (13, 14) which are parallel to each other and, when the pendulum adjusts itself to the angle of elevation or depression of the firearm extend at right angles to said traversing plane, and second ends support a loading tray (10) in supporting shafts (15, 16) also at right angles to the traversing plane when the pendulum adjusts itself to the angle of elevation or depression of the firearm. The arms (11, 12) are arranged to achieve a position swung to the side and a swung-in position of the loading tray which moreover in a feeding position, which can differ as regards the angle of elevation or depression from said position when swung to the side, is arranged to receive an ammunition unit (30) from a loading table or the like and which is arranged to make it possible to swing in the ammunition unit to the extension of the axis of the bore of the firearm, with which the loading tray coincides at the swung-in position. Said arms have different lengths, and are arranged so that in the feeding position they will hold the loading tray obliquely. An ammunition unit which with its front ends extends at the front of the loading tray will then extend with said front parts at the side of the elevating mass.
