ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a material handling system. More particularly, the invention pertains to the method and apparatus for automatically loading a two-piece ammunition into a gun tube. A continuous rammer mechanism having a plurality of strategically spaced pawls is structured to accelerate the two-piece ammunition into the gun tube. The system compensates for different angles of gun trajectory by adjusting the speed and output of a drive motor to thereby provide a consistent ramming acceleration of the ammunition.
