ABSTRACT:
A loading tray (3) used for a loading unit (4) which can be swung in from the side from a feeding position for an ammunition unit, (6) to a swung-in position in the extension of the axis of the bore (2) of a firearm (1). The loading tray receives the ammunition unit fed in from the side, and supports the ammunition unit during the swinging-in process, and permits longitudinal displacement out of the loading tray by means of a rammer (8). The loading tray has an elongate element (16) which having received the ammunition unit extends above and along the ammunition unit. The element can spring away to the side temporarily in connection with the rolling of the ammunition unit. The element (16) is comprised in the holding function for the ammunition unit under the swinging-in process, and serves as a rearing guard during ramming of the ammunition unit.
