Abstract
An arrangement for bridging over the path traversed by cartridge being loaded via a loading tray and loading channel in a breech plate into the loading chamber of the weapon. The arrangement includes a trough-shaped flap which is pivotally mounted on the breech plate in such a way that it provides a guidance for the cartridge so that it cannot be damaged by a difference in height between the lower edge of the loading chamber and the breech block. The flap is pivoted about a horizontal axis when the breech block is in the open position and its free end remains at the level of the lower edge of the loading chamber until the cartridge casing has been securely guided into the loading chamber.
