ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for manually loading ammunition into one end of a gun tube includes a lift-type breechblock wedge operatively arranged for sealing and unsealing the one end of the gun tube. The breechblock wedge has an underside including at least two lateral guide strips attached thereto, a recess for receiving one end of a locking member and a pin having an enlarged head that projects from the underside. An ammunition loading tray is disposed at the one end of the gun tube for insertion of ammunition into the gun tube. The tray has at least two lateral ribs operatively arranged for sliding engagement with the guide strips. One of the lateral ribs includes an elongated opening which extends in the axial direction of the gun tube. The elongated opening has a first portion, axially adjacent the gun tube through which the pin head can be pushed, and a second portion, axially remote from the gun tube, for receiving the pin. The one rib further includes a displaceable locking member. The locking member is positioned on the one rib for displacement into the recess in the breechblock wedge when the pin abuts an end region of the second portion of the elongated opening.
