Abstract
A tank having a firearm mounted thereon for selective elevation and depression about trunnions located within a turret, is provided with a cover pivotally mounted on said turret and adapted to be engaged by the recoil jacket of the gun when the gun barrel is in a depressed position to swing the cover upwardly thereby to cause the recoil space to extend at least partially above a frame for the cover. The arrangement further includes a cartridge case deflector located within the tank below the cover and pivotally fastened at its opposing ends to a portion of the cover and to the recoil jacket of the barrel respectively, and the sides of the cartridge case deflector are adapted to be compressed by one another when engaged by a loading tray within the turret to enable rounds to be moved from a magazine to a loading position.
