Abstract: A device for ejecting ammunition containers from a war head has, transversely to the war head longitudinal axis a bellows which accepts individual ammunition containers in concave circumferentially sparse pockets (6). The bellows is inflated by a gas-generator including a gas-permeable tube extending along the longitudinal axis. In order to achieve as wide a variation range of ejection behavior of the ammunition container as possible, the propellant charge of the gas generator is particulate and at least one ITLX ignition cord extends along the longitudinal axis of the tube, so that the hot particles during burndown of the ITLX ignition cord are pressed between the particles of the propellant charge (12). A damming serves to build up the initial pressure required for the burn-down of the propellant charge.
