Abstract
An automatic muzzle or front loader weapon which possesses a weapon barrel which is pivotable in the direction of elevation or firing, and including a front or leading barrel segment which is latchable with the weapon barrel so as to be in coaxial alignment therewith. The barrel segment is pivotable into a loading position relative to the weapon barrel and which aligns with a loading tray into which there is insertable a projectile which is received from a storage magazine, whereby the projectile is slidable into the front barrel segment from the loading tray, whereupon the front barrel segment will then pivot in such a manner so as to cause the projectile to slide into the weapon barrel.
