Abstract
A ramming device for shells by means of which the kinetic energy necessary for free flight through a Chamber of a gun is imparted to a shell having a base. The device comprises a ramming lever engaging behind the base of said shell and adapted to be driven in a swinging motion around a pivot point. The latter is guided in turn over a circular path such that the end of said lever which acts on said shell passes along an at least approximately linear path parallel to the axis of the bore of a barrel of said gun.
