An ammunition box that is intended to equip a magazine of a gun turret. The box is substantially parallelepipedic and comprises a pivoting handle formed by two arms that are articulated on the side walls and are connected by a grip allowing the extraction and transportation of the box. The handle comprises a protuberance disposed in the vicinity of at least one of the articulated arms and in the vicinity of its pivot pin on the walls, which protuberance is intended to engage with at least one guide groove provided on the magazine of the turret. A further aim of the invention is a magazine capable of receiving such a box.
