ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for rapid loading of separate-loading ammunition in artillery guns, the shell and propellant charge being placed after one another on or in a carrier being accelerated up to a high velocity centered about the longitudinal axis of the gun barrel. Thereafter, the carrier is rapidly retarded to arrest while the shell and the propellant charge are allowed to continue in the direction of the acceleration to their respective ramming positions in the gun.
