The present invention relates to a drum magazine, and more particularly, to a drum magazine in which a wheel cover, which is configured to provide an elastic force via a mainspring to a bullet guide unit configured to elastically support a bullet loaded in a drum at a loading hole which is an inlet of the drum, is rotatably disposed at an outer surface of the drum, wherein, at the time of loading, an elastic latch unit is elastically engaged with an inner ring gear of the wheel cover and allows rotation of the wheel cover only in one direction so that a loading space at an entry of the loading hole that is provided due to arbitrary rotation of the wheel cover in the one direction is maintained as it is even when a user removes his or her hand from the magazine, and, after the loading is completed, a latch control unit configured to disengage the elastic latch unit and the inner ring gear is operated so that an elastic restoration force of the mainspring, which is accumulated due to the loading, is transmitted to the bullet guide unit and the loaded bullet is elastically supported at the loading hole.

A number of embodiments of a firearm are disclosed where the firearm includes a magazine configured to hold the bolt in an open position when the magazine is empty. In one embodiment, the firearm includes a bolt stop mechanism that moves between a first position where it allows the bolt to cycle between an open position and a closed position and a second position where it holds the bolt in the open position. The magazine is configured to actuate the bolt stop mechanism to the first position when the magazine is empty.

A toy launcher with a drum magazine assembly that has a rotatable drum portion mounted for rotation, with a rear plate and a central support with an opening for a support axle. A ring of projectile holders is connected to the rear plate, with each projectile holder holding at least two projectiles arranged in a generally radially stacked configuration. Generally radially extending walls are located between adjacent projectile holders. Each of the projectile holders includes a slot on a radially inner side into which a projectile biasing arm extends at a projectile launch position. A pusher is located in the housing adjacent to the projectile launch position. Drive wheels are positioned in front of the drum magazine assembly at the projectile launch position. The drive wheels are motorized so that they rotate to propel a projectile pushed from the drum between the drive wheels for launching the projectile.

Provided is a pump-action firearm having a frame. A barrel having a chamber is supported on the frame. A rotating ammunition clip has a plurality of circumferentially spaced cartridge sockets and is removably supported by the frame. A bolt is manually slidably cycled between in-battery and retracted positions. The bolt is moveable into a socket to push a cartridge out of the socket and into the chamber to the in-battery position and retractable to extract the cartridge from the chamber and back into the socket.

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.
