#2856: Freeloader

Some naval guns, intended to defend against missile attack, have a ridiculously high rate of firing.

These rely on people to preload shells into belts and then belts into magazines…which is labour intensive and not wholly safe.

Today’s invention is a bullet feed system based on this approach.

It would allow rounds to be gravity fed from a hopper, perhaps to several weapons at a time, whilst avoiding both over-complexity and jamming.
