  • Patent number: 5684265
    Abstract: A turret for a preferably armored wheel-mounted or tracked vehicle is provided with a weapon and a magazine from which the weapon can be supplied with ammunition in belt form. The magazine is positioned in the turret laterally alongside the weapon and level therewith. The ammunition is received in the magazine in a substantially vertical orientation and on supply to the weapon is brought into alignment therewith. In order to be able to supply in a simple and reliable manner the ammunition to the weapon, the belted ammunition is wound up spirally in the magazine, the ammunition belt running freely from the magazine to the weapon without any guidance means and is twisted or turned. Preferably, on either side of the weapon, is located a corresponding magazine, which is downwardly inclined in the ammunition belt outlet direction.
