Ammunition storage and feeding system for light weapons that facilitates a continuous loading of the weapon, thereby relieving the user from multiple magazine replacements, and reducing potential weapon stoppages, thus providing more reliable and significantly uninterruptable use of the weapon with respect to operating the weapon with conventional magazines. According to an embodiment of the invention, the system is configured to automatically receive interlinked cartridges from a carrying device (e.g., a backpack or other convenient device harnessed to the user's body) through a flexible or semi-flexible leading means, to successively extract the cartridges from the linking arrangement and to successively feed each extracted cartridge into a dedicated magazine in a First In First Out (FIFO) manner.

A vehicle, in particular a tank, having a turret, on which a gun having a large-calibre gun barrel is secured, and comprising an auto-loader positioned behind the turret, via which auto-loader ammunition can be automatically supplied to the gun barrel. In order to achieve simplified automatic loading of the gun barrel with ammunition, without impairing the survival capabilities of the crew as a result, the auto-loader is replaceably secured on the outside of the turret as a separate, modular unit. A magazine located in the auto-loader for receiving the ammunition can also be designed as an interchangeable magazine that can be replaced. An electronic system of the auto-loader is housed in the vehicle, specifically in the turret. The selection of ammunition in the auto-loader and the conveying out of the auto-loader are carried out via at least one mechanical interface, e.g. a power take-off, between the turret and the auto-loader.

An ammunition loading system for loading ammunition into a primary magazine in an automatic cannon includes at least one secondary magazine arranged in an ammunition store beneath the primary magazine of the automatic cannon, a hoisting device for transporting the aforementioned at least one secondary magazine from the ammunition store to the primary magazine, a docking and transfer mechanism for the docking of the secondary magazine with the primary magazine and for the transfer of ammunition between the secondary magazine and the primary magazine, as well as a common drive arrangement for synchronous driving of the secondary magazine and the primary magazine during the transfer of ammunition. A method for the aforementioned ammunition loading system is also provided.

A flat loop revolving firearm assembly can have a trigger mechanism configured to move a loop advance lever disposed between the trigger mechanism and a flat loop, and a hammer retractor lever disposed between the trigger mechanism and at least one hammer retractor bar. The hammer retractor bar can be configured to slide and contact a hammer thereby rotating the hammer to a cocked position and releasing the hammer to fire a cartridge removably disposed in a firing position chamber. The flat loop can have a plurality of flat loop links configured to revolve in parallel tracks into a firing position in response to motion imposed by the loop advance lever.

A magazine structure for a toy gun includes a carrier (10), an active gear (20), a passive gear (30) and a loading chain (40). The active gear (20) is rotatably installed to the carrier (10). The passive gear (30) is rotatably installed to the carrier (10) and arranged at an interval with the active gear (20). The loading chain (40) surrounds the active gear (20) and the passive gear (30) and has hollow cylinders (41) and a strap (42) connecting the hollow cylinders (41).
