ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method and to a system for loading a round of ammunition into a pivoting chamber of a gun, in particular a gun of small or medium caliber, the chamber pivoting in reciprocating motion between an open position and a closed position. A first device takes charge of a round of ammunition in a feed station to position it axially on the axis of the chamber when the chamber is in its open position, and to pivot the round while synchronously guiding it with the pivoting motion of the chamber, and a second device loads the round into the chamber, by bearing against the cap of the round so as to push it progressively into the chamber during the pivoting motion of the chamber. Both the first device for taking charge of a round of ammunition, and the second device for loading it into the chamber are controlled by the pivoting motion of the chamber.
