ABSTRACT:
A magazine arrangement for a tank turret having a crew chamber and, a tubular weapon, particularly a howitzer, in its front portion, and two magazine units in its rear portion, with the two magazine units being disposed respectively to the right and left of the bore axis of the tubular weapon, and with one magazine unit accommodating propelling charges and the other magazine unit accommodating projectiles. To ensure manual supply of the propelling charges from a storage position secured with respect to the crew chamber, the magazine units receive the propelling charges and projectiles in a position transverse to the bore axis of the tubular weapon and with the projectiles having their tips facing inwardly, and the magazine unit for the propelling charges is enclosed in a chamber having armored walls such that those of the armored walls of the chamber which face the crew chamber are armored more strongly than the exterior walls of the chamber, and the front wall of the chamber facing the crew chamber is provided with a door.
