Abstract: A loading device for a semi-automatic rifle, in which said rifle comprises a barrel (2) in which a cartridge (3) may be inserted, operable by a loading and firing mechanism (4). The device comprises a piston (12), slidable over a gas cylinder (11) of said rifle, which operates said loading and firing mechanism (4), and is actuated by a recovered portion of the gases generated by the combustion of the charge contained in the cartridge.

Abstract: A loading device for kinetic operation automatic or semi-automatic rifles (11), comprising, housed inside a housing (23), a breechblock (24) of a barrel (25) of the rifle (11), the breechblock (24) being functionally associated with a feeder mechanism (22) by mean of a loading kinematism, wherein the feeder mechanism (22) supports at least one element (30), suitable for accumulating part of the recoil inertia energy of the rifle (11) transferring it onto an elastic element (15), which determines the loading of the firearm.

Abstract: A semiautomatic rifle (10) with inertial operation comprises an arming unit (11) and an inertial-loading device (12), where the arming unit (11) has a breechblock (13), there being housed inside the breechblock (13) a firing pin (18), and further has a cocking lever (21) equipped with a corresponding spring (22) and with a kinetic mass (23), as well as with a magazine follower (24) designed to transfer the cartridges (20) supplied by the magazine box (25) of the inertial-loading device (12) to the arming unit (11). The arming unit (11) is functionally associated with the inertial-loading device (12) for loading the cartridges (20) in such a way that it is possible to exploit the inertia associated to the recoil of the rifle when the rifle is fired, both for operation of the arming unit (11) and for feed of the cartridges (20) from the magazine box (25) to the cartridge chamber.
