ABSTRACT:
A marine firing or weapon system containing a plurality of weapon barrels serves for combating rapidly flying targets in zenith and in azimuth or horizontal and possesses an inclined azimuth alignment axis. The ammunition infeed is accomplished from a number of stationary ammunition magazines arranged about a bent substantially vertical column. The ammunition magazines are located below the multi-barrel weapon system. Since the belted ammunition, due to the inclined azimuth axis, is guided along the aforementioned bent vertical column, which has a vertical extending portion at its lower section, a lengthwise compensation of the ammunition belts is needed during the rotation of the weapon system about the alignment azimuth axis. An elastic or flexible ammunition belt channel leads from each ammunition magazine to its related weapon barrel. These weapon barrels are cooled. Owing to the inclined azimuth alignment axis the minimum elevation or weapon depression is limited by an adjustable stop. Each ammunition magazine, constructed as a drum magazine, contains individual compartments each of which contains a loop of the ammunition or cartridge belt.
