An automatic reloading device for a weapon fed by two ammunition magazines includes first and second ammunition conveyors, each movable in phase opposition between a position for collecting a piece of ammunition from a magazine and a position for reloading the weapon. The automatic reloading device includes a single actuator, able to output an alternating motion, and movement means for transmitting the alternating motion to the first and second ammunition conveyors and converting it into movements of the first and second ammunition conveyors for an alternating feeding of the weapon.

The invention also relates to a weapon system including such an automatic reloading device.

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, 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.
