Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for supporting a shell (1), such as a mortar shell, into the barrel of a breech-loading weapon, the arrangement comprising a support element (8) to be fastened to the tail of the mortar shell, the element comprising a rim flange (87), means for fastening the support element to the tail of the mortar shell (1), and firing means (9) for firing an actual primer (5) of the mortar shell (1) for firing the mortar shell. The arrangement is characterized in that the means for fastening the support element to the shell tail are arranged in the support element (8) by means of finger-like fastening members (80) settling onto the shell tail tube (3) and arranged to constitute an interference fit between the shell (1) and the support element (8) when the shell (1) is placed in the support element (8). The invention also relates to a support element and a method for supporting a mortar shell (1) into the barrel of a breechloading weapon.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for supporting a shell into the barrel of a breech-loading weapon. The arrangement comprises a support piece (6) that is provided with an edge flange (7) and is to be fastened to a tail of the shell. The support piece further comprises a firing mechanism for firing the actual primer of the shell. The arrangement further comprises a connecting means (8) between the support piece (6) and the shell tail (4), the connecting means being arranged to fasten to the shell and to the support piece (6) and thus to fasten the support piece with a mechanical connection to the shell tail (4). The connecting means (8) comprises at least one shank part (9) having a first end and a second end, the first end of the shank part being arranged to fasten to the connecting means (8) and the second end to the shell tail (4).

Abstract: A support member and method for supporting a shell into the barrel of a breech-loading weapon. The support member (6) comprises a support element (8) with an rim flange (7), end (16), and edge casing (12), and means for fastening the support element (8) to at least one fin (5) belonging to the tail end (4) of the shell (1). The means for fastening the support element (8) to the tail end (4) of the shell (1) comprise a retainer part (9) arranged to the edge casing (12) and arranged to circle the inner surface (10) of the edge casing essentially level with the plane of the rim flange (7).
