Abstract: An ammunition box that is intended to equip a magazine of a gun turret. The box is substantially parallelepipedic and comprises a pivoting handle formed by two arms that are articulated on the side walls and are connected by a grip allowing the extraction and transportation of the box. The handle comprises a protuberance disposed in the vicinity of at least one of the articulated arms and in the vicinity of its pivot pin on the walls, which protuberance is intended to engage with at least one guide groove provided on the magazine of the turret. A further aim of the invention is a magazine capable of receiving such a box.

Abstract: A device for deflecting links intended to equip a turret equipped with a weapon with a dual-feed for ammunition belts formed by links. This device is characterized in that it includes a deflector flap that is intended to be disposed between two orifices for ejecting links out of the turret, which flap is intended to be connected to the weapon by a fixing means including a ball joint connection disposed towards the front of the weapon, and a horizontal slide connection disposed towards the rear of the weapon. Also, a turret equipped with such a deflector.

Abstract: A belt ammunition feeding device for a dual-feed automatic weapon includes, for each feeding channel, at least a first rigid chute leading an ammunition belt from a magazine to the weapon, and a second rigid guide chute arranged at each tilting arm, the second chute including an upper mouth arranged opposite the outlet opening of the first rigid chute, the mouth also including a flared part forming a guide funnel and making it possible to cap the outlet opening of the first rigid chute when the tilting arm is in its engaged position with a stationary positioning star.
