ABSTRACT:
An armored vehicle with a rotatable turret, e.g. a tank, has its gun (cannon) supplied from a munitions bunker behind the turret in which the munitions rounds are stored in tubes inclined at angles less than 90.degree. to the axis of the gun when the breech thereof is aligned with an opening in the magazine through which the rounds are fed from a tunnel in the magazine aligned with the gun. The rounds lie in substantially horizontal planes and are withdrawn from storage tubes by a device movable axially along the tunnel and swingable into alignment with each tube to withdraw the round therefrom and feed it through the opening into the breech of the gun.
