Abstract
The weapon charger for a combat vehicle includes a charger slide means in the weapon mantlet adapted to slide to a rearward position to engage and cock the weapon sear block and to a forward position to disengage from the sear block. The charger slide means is slid by means of a chain means connected thereto extending through the mantlet into the turret of the vehicle and driven by a hand crank actuated spur gear inside the turret. The crank is rotated clockwise to pull the charger slide means rearwardly to cock the sear block. A return spring means attached to the charger slide means pulls same to its forward position when the crank means is rotated counterclockwise.
