PROPELLANT CHARGE LOADER, WEAPON AND METHOD FOR LOADING PROPELLANT CHARGES

摘要

The invention relates to a propellant charge loader comprising a feed slide (6) which can be moved linearly along a loading direction (A) in order to feed propellant charges (8) into a loaded position in the loading compartment (103) of a weapon barrel (101), and comprising a retaining element (601) that is movably mounted on the feed slide (6) and that secures the position of the propellant charges (8) in their loaded position. The invention further relates to a weapon comprising a weapon barrel (101) and a propellant charge loader (2) with a feed slide (6) which can be moved linearly in order to feed propellant charges (8) into a loaded position in the loading compartment (103) of a weapon barrel (101), said loader comprising a retaining element (601) that is movably mounted on the feed slide (6) and that secures the position of the propellant charges (8) in their loaded position. A further object of the invention is a method for loading propellant charges (8) into the loading compartment (103) of a weapon barrel (101), in which method the propellant charges (8) are fed by means of a linearly movable feed slide (6) into a loaded position in the loading compartment (103) and a retaining element (601) located on the feed slide (6) is moved, in order to secure the position of the propellant charges (8) in their loaded position.
