Abstract
The invention relates to a system for loading a round such as a telescoped round into a pivoting chamber of a gun, in particular a medium caliber gun. The system comprises a feed device secured to the oscillating mass of the gun and laterally offset relative to the gun barrel. The feed device is situated between the trunnion axis of the gun and the pivoting chamber. The system further includes an insertion device for inserting a round into the chamber, which insertion device is secured to the recoil mass of the gun, is situated above the barrel, and lies substantially in the vertical plane in which the chamber pivots. The round is conveyed from the feed device to the insertion device by a feed star mounted to rotate about the barrel of the gun.
