Abstract: A box support (2) is provided on both sides with shackles (4) to make it easier to attach an ammunition box (1) to the gun mount (35) for an automatic weapon and to ensure better access to the cartridge feed belt for the loading and reloading operation, as well as to reduce the ergonomic stress when attaching the ammunition box to the gun mount. These shackles (4) have respectively one holder (5) at a distance downward that is used for suspending the ammunition box (1) such that it can pivot. The ammunition box (1) is provided with bearing bolts (13) for this purpose. Two fastening locations (7, 8) for the ammunition box (1) are provided in a longitudinal axial direction of the box support (2), at non-symmetrical distances to the holders (5). If the ammunition box (1) is suspended in the holders (5), the distance a between the first fastening location (7) and the holders (5) corresponds to the distance between the holders (5) and a first locking device (16).

Abstract: A weapon bolt has a bolt head which accommodates an axially slidable firing pin and which is rotatable and displaceable parallel to the barrel axis. A bolt handle is pivotally supported on an axle carried in a radial orientation by a control sleeve which is slidable in a chamber sleeve. The bolt handle is, in a form-fitting manner, coupled to a disengagement lever supportable on the chamber sleeve and upon its actuation, causes an axial motion of the axle. The control sleeve receives an axially slidable intermediate piece which surrounds the axle and is operatively coupled at its frontal side with the firing pin and at its rearward side with a striker which arms a firing spring. In the armed state of the firing spring the striker may be locked to the chamber sleeve, via a locking arrangement, by an arming member actuated by the disengagement lever.

Abstract: There is disclosed a combination of a signal-receiving system and a hand weapon. The signal-receiving system is incorporated in the hand weapon and includes a signal-receiving unit for receiving a coded signal and an evaluating unit connected to the signal-receiving unit for receiving the coded signal therefrom, for processing the coded signal and for emitting an actuating signal as a function of the coded signal for affecting operationally essential elements of the hand weapon.
