Abstract

A unit on the delivery casing (1) brakes and secures the inlaid shell (GS) in the axial direction. A projectile rest (3) supports the curving front region of the shell, near the tip. The rest is located on a support lever rod (4, 5), which sinks down against spring force. Its descent can be locked on the guide path (2) using a blocking unit.
