ABSTRACT:
A rapid-fire automatic gun is provided with a first magazine for a smaller number of rounds, and a second magazine for a greater number of rounds. The magazines include first and second round advancement members. The first of the round advancement members is controlled by the automatic gun itself, therefore round advancement speed, in the first magazine, is dependent upon the gun firing rate. The second round advancement members is driven by a driver which provides a maximum round advancement speed in the second magazine, for example 300 rounds per minute, considerably less than the maximum round advancement speed in the first magazine. When a difference in advancement speeds of the first and second magazines occurs, a transferring member for transferring rounds from the second to the first magazine provides gap formation in the row of rounds in the first magazine by successively filling them during and after firing.
