Abstract
A physically economic apparatus which is insensitive to defects for feeding belted ammunition by means of starwheels is driven by a spring energy store which comprises a helical spring and a closed chain loop. The chain loop is formed by four sprocket wheels which are mounted in a housing and one of which is connected for drive purposes to the starwheel shaft. One end of the helical springs is supported on shoulders in the housing, and the other end is supported on pressure pieces which are fitted to the chain loop.
