PROPELLANT CHARGE LOADER, WEAPON AND METHOD FOR LOADING PROPELLANT CHARGES

摘要

The invention relates to a propellant charge loader (2) for loading propellant charges (8) into a weapon barrel (101) that can be elevated, said loader having a propellant charge receptacle (5) located on an elevation adjustment element (3). Multiple propellant charges (8) can be introduced into the weapon barrel (101) from said loader along a loading direction (A) and the propellant charge receptacle (5) is arranged so that it can carry out a translatory motion in relation to the elevation adjustment element (3) transversely to the loading direction (A). The invention also relates to a weapon (1) comprising a weapon barrel (101) that can be elevated and a propellant charge loader (2) of this type. The invention further relates to a method for loading propellant charges (8) into a weapon barrel (101) that can be elevated, said loader having a propellant charge receptacle (5) located on an elevation adjustment element (3), in which method multiple propellant charges (8) can be introduced into the weapon barrel (101) from said loader along a loading direction (A) and the propellant charge receptacle (5) located on the elevation adjustment element (3) carries out a translatory motion in relation to the elevation adjustment element (3) transversely to the loading direction (A).
