Abstract
The cartridges are delivered laterally adjacent to the weapon barrel by a cartridge feed mechanism and must be deflected or depressed upon insertion of the cartridges into a cartridge chamber of the weapon barrel by the breechblock. At high cadences there is the risk that the cartridges slide off from the breechblock and impinge with their tips against the weapon barrel and then cannot be inserted. The inventive apparatus is intended to avoid this risk. A pivotable supporting and deflecting pawl having a pivot axis parallel to the weapon axis ensures reliable insertion of the cartridges into the weapon barrel.
