The domestic company Front Tactical Systems has developed a universal ammunition supply system designed to improve the combat qualities of existing machine guns.
The creation of a new product, designated “Scorpion,” was carried out on its own initiative, without an order from the military department or law enforcement agencies. In order to increase the ammunition capacity of the machine gun, ready for use, it was decided to abandon the standard boxes for tapes, replacing them with a larger container and a special device for feeding the cartridge belt to the receiving window of the machine gun.
In its current form, the Scorpio system consists of several main parts. To store the belt with cartridges, a metal container box of appropriate dimensions is intended. Connected to it is a special flexible hose for supplying cartridges, at the other end of which there is a bracket for mounting on a machine gun. This architecture of the kit allows the production of various variants, both stationary and portable.
The Scorpio kit includes several basic elements. A metal container box is used to store and carry the belt with cartridges. In its basic configuration, it measures 40x10x30 cm and holds 475 rounds in one belt.
To carry the box, it is proposed to use a special backpack, adjustable in accordance with the anatomy of the shooter. A special cover with fastenings for a flexible hose is installed on the cartridge box.
The sleeve itself is a structure made up of a large number of metal segments that can change position relative to each other within certain sectors. The length of the sleeve is 160 cm, width 10 cm, thickness – 2.5 cm, which allows it to hold up to 75 rounds. If necessary, the sleeve is equipped with a protective cover.
The sleeve is equipped with a bracket that allows it to be connected to a weapon. The kit without cartridges weighs about 4.1 kg.
According to the manufacturer, in the basic configuration the Scorpion kit is intended for use with 7.62x54 mm R rifle cartridges and loose metal belts. In preparation for shooting, a single belt for 550 rounds is placed in the box and sleeve. The end of the tape is brought to the receiving window of the weapon. The Scorpion system is designed for use with Kalashnikov machine guns: PK, PKM and Pecheneg using a 7.62x54 mm cartridge.
The Scorpion can be used for any task - be it patrolling in the forest, or targeted assault operations in urban areas. And here, it is also very important to mention that you can carry the ammunition system while equipped in different ways.
No piece of equipment will interfere with the use of a box with a flexible sleeve. So, for example, “Scorpion” can be worn in conjunction with any means of personal armor protection - a machine gunner can use a bulletproof vest, armored helmet or anti-fragmentation suit, if necessary.
The developer of the system, the Front company, has already come up with a proposal to put the Scorpion into service, including its inclusion in the Ratnik system. However, at the moment, the issue is being resolved. However, a number of such products are already used by representatives of various structures.
The Scorpion system will replace GLONASS in wartime
The Ministry of Defense has begun replacing the RSDN-10 ground-based long-range navigation radar systems with new Scorpion complexes. In the event of war, these ground-based coordinate determination systems will replace space systems - GPS and GLONASS. The renewal program is designed until 2020, Izvestia writes.
As Yuri Kupin, a representative of the Russian Institute of Radio Navigation and Time, noted, “during combat operations, all satellite signals traveling through space will be actively jammed by the so-called “white noise.” Russia, the USA and a number of other countries are armed with aircraft with special equipment that are capable of blocking the entire near-Earth radio space with noise.
The Scorpion system is intended to become a kind of backup to GLONASS in such a situation.
The Scorpion system is capable of providing a larger coverage area (1 thousand km versus 600 for the RSDN-10). The system is capable of automatically maintaining the parameters of the emitted signal and can be controlled from a single remote control. The system’s receivers can be installed on aviation, ground, sea and river equipment.”
Another advantage of Scorpions is the ability to synchronize stations with the GLONASS system, which significantly increases their efficiency.
In addition to commissioning new systems, modernization of old ones is also planned. In particular, Rosoboronpostavka ordered repair and restoration work on the RSDN-10 complexes and the RSDN-20 Alpha system.
Commissioning of the Scorpion systems is planned in four stages. In 2013-2015 three systems will be replaced in Transbaikalia, in 2016-2017 - four systems in the North Caucasus region, in 2017-2019. - four in the Far East, in 2019-2020. will replace three systems in the South Ural region.

And now some general information about long-range navigation radio systems.
In order to ensure traffic safety in air, land and sea transport, as well as to solve a number of special tasks on the basis of Government Decrees, a long-range radio navigation support system (DRNO) was created in the Soviet Union. DRNO is intended to create conditions for the combat use of aviation in theaters of military operations, operational directions and in military-geographical areas, as well as aircraft navigation during all types of flights.
RSDN are designed to determine the location of an aircraft at a distance of 1500 km or more.
RSDN consists of ground radio transmitting devices - reference stations (OS) and on-board receiving equipment. Reference stations are located on the Earth's surface at points, the geographic coordinates of which are stored in the memory of the on-board equipment.
On-board equipment receives signals and measures the range to reference stations (in rangefinder RSDN) or the difference in ranges (in difference-rangefinder RSDN). Based on the measured ranges or range differences, the computing device of the on-board equipment receiver builds position lines. Position lines (LP) - the geometric locus of points characterized by the same range value or range difference, are either circles (in rangefinder RSDN) (Fig. 1.1, a) or hyperbolas (in difference rangefinder RSDN) (Fig. 1.1, b). Several OS are determined by several LPs and by their intersection the computing device determines the location (geographical coordinates) of the aircraft.
Fig.1.1 Position lines in RSDN:
A) rangefinder RSDN;
B) difference-rangefinder RSDN. Three aircraft (No. 1, No. 2, No. 3) are located on position lines 2, 3, 4. The distance between stations OS1 and OS2 is called the base one.
In rangefinder RSDN, to determine the distance to the reference station, the delay time is measured T signal along the propagation path from the OS to the aircraft, i.e. T=D/With, Where WITH-speed of propagation of radio waves, and D-range to OS.
The emission of signals by reference stations is carried out at strictly defined times, known on the aircraft, i.e., there must be time standards on the aircraft and on the OS. Using the OS time standard, the moment the signal is emitted is specified, and using the aircraft time standard, the moment this signal is received is noted. But, due to the presence of discrepancies between the time standards on the OS and on the aircraft, an error in measuring the range is possible, therefore the measured range is called pseudo-range, and this measurement method is called pseudo-rangefinder. If the time standard on an airplane is corrected (for example, according to the unified time system), then the error in the measurement will be determined by the time scale drifting beyond the time interval between corrections.
The main tasks of DRNO are:
ensuring the solution of combat missions by aviation in the tactical, operational and strategic depth of the enemy;
ensuring the solution of combat training tasks by aviation associations, formations and units;
ensuring flights of aircraft along optimal routes, over directionless terrain, waters of seas and oceans;
ensuring flight safety of aircraft.
The use of long-range radio navigation means allows aircraft to solve the following tasks:
use of aviation weapons;
landing;
conducting aerial reconnaissance;
overcoming the enemy's air defense zone;
interaction with ground forces and naval forces.
Currently, the main means of DRNO aviation of the RF Armed Forces are long-range navigation radio systems (RLNS). RSDN are designed to determine the location of moving objects at any time of the day and year with unlimited throughput in a given coverage area.
The high efficiency of these systems has been confirmed by more than 30 years of experience in their operation, including in conditions of local armed conflicts in Afghanistan and the North Caucasus, where, in mountainous and directionless terrain, RSDN were often the only means of correcting flight navigation systems to solve problems air navigation and combat use.
RSDN consumers are all branches of the Russian Armed Forces. In addition to the Ministry of Defense, consumers of navigation information generated by the RSDN are the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Federal Border Guard Service, and the Ministry of Transport of Russia. In addition, DRN stations operate in the State System of Unified Time and Standard Frequencies.
The structure of the RSDN ground station includes:
Control and synchronization equipment;
- radio transmitting device with a power of 0.65-3.0 million watts (per pulse);
- general industrial equipment (autonomous diesel power plant with a capacity of 600-1000 kW, air conditioning, communications, etc.);
- center of the high-precision unified time service - SEV VT. It is equipped with a set of equipment that creates, stores and transmits time-second marks to a transmitting device for broadcasting. The basis of SEV VT is the atomic frequency standard, which generates highly stable electromagnetic oscillations with a relative instability of 1x10-12. Time sequences are formed in time keepers: seconds, minutes. five minutes, etc. Station timestamps are "locked" to the national time scale. These signals are used when launching spacecraft, in navigation, geology, geodesy, etc.
The following long-range navigation radio systems are currently deployed and in operation:
1.Phase RSDN-20 “Route”.
2. RSDN “Chaika” systems:
- European RSDN-3/10;
- Far Eastern RSDN-4;
- Northern RSDN-5.
3. Mobile systems RSDN-10 (North Caucasus, South Ural, Transbaikal, Far Eastern).
The first long-range navigation radio system on the territory of the former USSR, RSDN-3/10, was created after the modernization of the Meridian and Normal RNS. It was put into operation as part of the Air Force in the early 70s of the last century.
RSDN-3/10 includes 5 long-range radio navigation stations (DRN): three stations are located on the territory of the Russian Federation (Karachev, Petrozavodsk, Syzran), one station on the territory of Belarus (n. Slonim) and one station on the territory of Ukraine (Simferopol).
After the collapse of the USSR, RSDN-3/10 operated in accordance with the intergovernmental Agreement on long-range radio navigation support in the Commonwealth of Independent States of March 12, 1993. According to Article 2 of this Agreement, its participants recognized the need to preserve the radio navigation systems operating on their territory, as well as the existing order of their activities.
The analogue of domestic RSDN (Chaika) abroad is the radio navigation systems (RNS) Loran-C (USA).
Early 90s The last century was marked by the rapid development of satellite navigation systems (SNS). The Global Positioning System (GPS Navstar) was created in the USA. In the Soviet Union, the global navigation satellite system (GLONASS) called “Hurricane” was widely developed. SNS were distinguished by high accuracy in determining the coordinates of moving objects (tens, and in some cases units of meters), the creation of a global radio navigation field, and the ability to obtain three-dimensional coordinates on board a moving object. The parameters of the RSDN were more modest: the accuracy was 0.2 -2.0 km, they had a limited working area. For example, the working area of the European RSDN-3/10: the Barents Sea - the Black Sea and the Ural Mountains - Germany. SNS, thanks to its unique parameters, created the impression that the time of ground-based RSDNs has passed. However, after testing the SNS for noise immunity and stability, disappointing results were obtained. The fact is that in determining the location of objects in CNNs, noise-like signals are used. Suppressing such a signal in the aviation coverage area does not present much technical difficulty. It seemed that the solution was in the integrated use of these two types of navigation: European specialists followed this path. We created the control and correction technology “Eurofix” - a system for joint use of RSDN and SNS. We are going our own way. And so, in the area of the village of Taimylyr, a unique structure was destroyed, a transmitting antenna 460 m high... almost an Ostankino tower beyond the Arctic Circle. Equipment and equipment were simply abandoned. 175.2 million (Soviet) rubles were spent on the creation of the exploded facility.
As it became known, the depths of the Arctic Ocean conceal huge reserves of natural resources. One can foresee the struggle of the circumpolar states (and not only them) for these riches. It is clear that navigation aids in this region will play a decisive role in the future. Therefore, radio navigation support facilities in the Arctic region must be preserved.
RSDN-20:
The Alpha phase radio navigation system (also known as the Radio Engineering Long-Range Navigation System or RSDN-20) is a Russian long-range radio navigation system. It operates on the same principles as the decommissioned Omega Navigation System in the very low frequency range. The Alpha system consists of 3 transmitters, which are located in the area of Novosibirsk, Krasnodar, Komsomolsk-on-Amur. These transmitters emit 3.6 second signal sequences at frequencies of 11.905 kHz, 12.649 kHz and 14.881 kHz. Radio waves at these frequencies are reflected from the lowest layers of the ionosphere and are therefore less susceptible to ionospheric attenuation (3 dB attenuation per 1000 km), but the phase of the wave is very sensitive to the height of the reflection.
The receiver measures the phase difference of signals from navigation transmitters and constructs a family of hyperbolas. A moving object can always determine its location if it does not lose the ability to track signals from navigation transmitters. The phase of the wave depends on the height of the reflecting layers of the ionosphere, and therefore seasonal and diurnal variations can be compensated. Position accuracy is at least 2 nautical miles, but at high latitudes and polar regions where sudden phase anomalies may occur, the accuracy drops to 7 nautical miles.
And I’ll remind you that there existed, and maybe still exists Perimeter guaranteed nuclear retaliatory strike system, and also what it isThe system of uninterrupted supply of the Scorpion machine gun belt changes combat tactics, allowing the machine gunner to solve the problem with the amount of ammunition and the need for frequent reloading, without affecting mobility. This solution is a long-standing need of special forces, which has finally found its real embodiment.
The Scorpion is equipped with an easy-to-handle non-scattered metal belt feed sleeve, allowing continuous fire from the weapon in any position. The system holds 475 rounds in the main compartment, and another 75 rounds directly in the feed sleeve. The cartridges are packed in a special box located in the backpack (equipping a machine gunner with such ammunition would previously have required 6 bulky machine gun boxes).
The main system, together with the backpack base, is equipped with an adjustable waist belt and straps. The flexible hose is made of durable steel and coated with a corrosion-resistant chemical coating.
Advantages
The total ammunition capacity of the system is 550 rounds. The ability to achieve a fire advantage without changing boxes and without reloading. Creating a high density of fire to completely suppress the enemy. Lightening the machine gun by transferring the weight of the ammunition. The ability to quickly fasten the sleeve when moving from the traveling to the combat position. The box with a sleeve can fit into any backpack (if necessary, or if the backpack included in the kit is damaged).
Peculiarities
The Scorpion system is designed and manufactured for the 7.62 x 54 R cartridge of various GRAU indices (manufacturing for other calibers is possible). Suitable for operators with any anthropometric data. The backpack base with adjustable straps and belt (in the appropriate configuration) can be made in different colors (the main color is olive).
The sleeve is equipped with a soft cover for protection from the external environment. High-strength chemical coating of some elements. Full maintainability - the ability to replace individual elements of the system without the help of tools and appropriate qualifications in any conditions.
Simple and reliable fastening of a flexible sleeve to the machine gun body on standard mounting points for boxes. Quickly installed and removed. Spontaneous opening during movement and shooting is excluded. The tensile force of the flexible feeder in the extended position is no less than 90 kg (static weight).
The product is suitable for: PC-based airsoft models, 6P41 “PECHENEG”, 6P6M PKM.
The system is available upon request. It is possible to manufacture with various parameters - portable (MAX 1000 rounds, due to considerations of the weight load on the operator) any capacity, stationary - any capacity. Production time - 14 working days. We will contact you after placing your order.

The radio waves of the new stations are capable of blocking Russia from the sky, sea and land.
The Ministry of Defense has begun replacing the RSDN-10 ground-based long-range navigation radar systems with new Scorpion complexes. In case of war, these ground-based coordinate determination systems will replace space-based ones - GPS and GLONASS. The renewal program is designed until 2020 and began this year with three systems of the Transbaikal chain.
“During military operations, all satellite signals traveling through space will be actively jammed by so-called “white noise,” Yuri Kupin, a representative of the Russian Institute of Radio Navigation and Time, told Izvestia. — Russia, the USA and a number of other countries are armed with aircraft with special equipment that are capable of blocking the entire near-Earth radio space with noise. In such a situation, Scorpions are called upon to become a kind of backup to GLONASS.
The current long-range navigation systems were developed back in the 40-50s of the last century and partially performed the functions of determining coordinates (with an error of 150-800 m), which are now assigned to GLONASS and GPS. Now, due to the deterioration of the equipment and the complexity of maintenance, the RSDN-10s are practically not used, most of the stations have been destroyed. The replacement of ground-based systems is primarily due to the need to ensure national security in terms of radio navigation.
Scientific developments of past years were used in the creation of the new RSDN. "Scorpions" are capable of providing a larger coverage area (1 thousand km versus 600). In addition, RSDN-10 do not have LKKS - the so-called local control correction stations, which are located at a great distance, which does not allow radio waves to penetrate into the territory of a potential enemy and makes radio navigation systems invisible.
“The main “consumers” of these stations, which are in service with the air defense and air force forces, are also long-range aviation and the navy,” said Kupin. “They receive precise time signals and synchronize equipment through such networks.
“Scorpions”, unlike outdated stations, are capable of automatically maintaining the parameters of the emitted signal, can be controlled from a single remote control and are able to suppress residual radio pulses. The system's receivers can be installed on aviation, land, sea and river vehicles. Another advantage of Scorpions is the ability to synchronize stations with the GLONASS system, which significantly increases their efficiency.
“Crews of long-range aviation aircraft are never guided by data from only one system to determine their location,” former Air Force Commander-in-Chief Pyotr Deinekin told Izvestia. “We are always engaged in the comprehensive use of means of determining the exact location of an airship. There must also be an autonomous navigation system so that the crew does not depend on radio engineering and space equipment, which may be subject to interference. By the way, the question of navigation accuracy is one of the important problems of war and peace.
In addition to commissioning the latest radar developments, modernization of old systems is also planned. The Rosoboronpostavka agency ordered repair and restoration work on the RSDN-10 complexes and the RSDN-20 Alpha system. The modernization is carried out within the framework of the federal target program “Global Navigation Systems” and in accordance with the “Russian Radio Navigation Plan for 2008-2015”. About 50 million rubles have been allocated for these purposes from the budget of the Ministry of Defense.
The Scorpion will be commissioned in four stages. In 2013-2015, three systems of the Trans-Baikal chain will be replaced, in 2016-2017 - four systems of the North Caucasus chain, in 2017-2019 - four in the Far East, in 2019-2020 three systems of the South Ural chain will be replaced . In addition to new long-range navigation systems, the Russian army will be equipped with PPA-S/V noise-resistant aircraft receivers, operating on signals from GLONASS, GPS, the entire arsenal of ground-based RSDN and Scorpion.

The system for feeding cartridges into the barrel of a weapon is designed for automatic and semi-automatic firearms. The system contains a magazine with cartridges installed in the weapon socket, a magazine retention latch and a cartridge feeder. The system is equipped with a bolt stop and a mechanical connection of the magazine holding latch with cartridges or a bolt stop, while the magazine holding latch is configured to open when the magazine is empty or when there is the last cartridge in it, as well as a lock with an additional latch mechanically connected to the protrusion made on weapon and located in the path of movement of the bolt of the weapon or associated elements to prevent premature detachment of the magazine from the weapon. The invention simplifies charging and reduces the reloading time of weapons by self-disconnecting the magazine when the ammunition is used up. 2 n. and 8 salary f-ly, 6 ill.
The invention relates to automatic and semi-automatic firearms and is applicable to weapons of any small caliber systems.
Ammunition supply systems are known, consisting of a magazine with a spring-loaded feeder and a magazine socket on the weapon /see. for example, “Manual on Small Arms” M.: Military Publishing House, 1970 p.4-19/. The disadvantage of this system is that after the cartridges are used up, the magazine must be removed. In addition, the carob-shaped magazine is inconvenient to insert and remove, because movement in an arc is less orthopedicly convenient for the loader’s hand - a simple direct movement is performed more confidently and quickly, so reloading an open-arm magazine takes 1 second longer than a straight one. And the experience of combat operations in Afghanistan revealed the urgent need to reduce the reloading time of weapons, especially machine guns. In addition, when firing from a machine gun, if the trigger is released immediately after the last cartridge is used up or when firing single rounds, the end of the cartridges goes unnoticed, which can lead to the death of a soldier.
The technical result is simplification of charging and self-detachment of the magazine when ammunition is used up, which serves as an alarm about the end of cartridges.
To do this, the magazine retention latch is mechanically connected to the feeder in the upper or upper (if there is one cartridge in the magazine) position, or to an element mechanically connected to the feeder or to the cartridges, and if the magazine has an indirect, for example horn-shaped, then its working the end has straight guides. The mechanical connection can be located both in the weapon and in the magazine, and in the latter case, with some design solutions, the stop for the latch located in the magazine can serve as a counter latch located in the weapon. In systems where the opening of the latch is not designed to empty the magazine, but to the last cartridge, there is a magazine release lock in the form of an additional latch, mechanically connected to a protrusion located in the path of movement of the bolt or associated elements.
The design designed for the last cartridge differs from the first in that in the first design the magazine is separated after the last shot, when the bolt moves back and releases the feeder. In this case, the weapon remains ineffective for some time.
And in a design designed for the last cartridge, the magazine is separated before the last shot in the cartridge loading phase. In this case, the weapon, at least when firing single shots, remains charged all the time.
For more efficient separation of the magazine from the weapon, there is an ejector spring attached to the magazine or weapon. And so that during practice shooting the magazine does not fall on a hard surface or in the mud, there are loops on the magazine and weapon to which carabiners of the safety cord are connected.
The mechanical connection can be carried out either directly or through a rod, a double-armed or single-armed spring-loaded or spring lever, etc.
Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the ammunition supply system. Figure 2 shows four specific examples of the location of straight guides on a horn magazine. Figures 3-6 show specific design solutions.
Structurally, the system consists of element 1, which senses the end of ammunition or the moment when there is one cartridge or a unitary shot left in the magazine; this can be a feeder, an element associated with it, for example, a bolt stop in a PM pistol, or the cartridges themselves. A mechanical connection 2 interacts with this element, and with it a latch 3 for holding the magazine body 4.
In designs designed for the last cartridge, to prevent premature detachment of the magazine, there is a latch 5 of the lock, connected to a protrusion 6 in the path of the bolt or the element 7 connected to it. To speed up the separation of the magazine, there is an ejector spring 8.
This system works as follows: when the cartridges are used up, element 1 opens latch 3 through a mechanical link 2 and the empty magazine 4, under the influence of its own weight and spring 8, is separated from the weapon. In designs designed for the last cartridge, after the latch 3 is released, the magazine is held by the lock latch 5 until the last cartridge is removed from it by the bolt 7, which / or the element associated with it / when rolling presses on the protrusion 6, opening the latch 5 blocker. The store is separated.
Figure 2 shows the main options for the location of the guides 9 on the body 4 of the horn magazine. Intermediate ones are also possible.
Depending on the type of magazine /straight, open-end, disk, drum/ and the type of mechanical transmission (direct, rod, pusher, one- or two-armed lever, shaft, etc./, and the location of the mechanical connection and latch, various examples are possible specific execution.
The systems in Figs. 3-5 consist of a magazine body 4 with a feeder 10, spring-loaded by a spring 11. To hold the magazine there is a latch 3, and for manual release there is a flag 12. Moreover, in Figs. 3, 5 the latches are formed by bending an elastic plate on which and fasten.
In Fig.3 there is also a rod 13, attached, for example by contact welding, to the feeder 10 and the flag 12.
Figure 4 shows staggered cartridges 14, between the tips of which there is a protrusion 15 of a double-armed lever 16, spring-loaded by a spring 17 and mounted on an axis 18 inside the guide 19.
In Fig. 5, the latch 3 is located on an elastic plate 20 attached to or part of the rear wall of the magazine, and the stop for the latch 3 is an additional latch 21 in the form of an elastic plate bent at an angle, one end attached to the body of the weapon. On the magazine body 4 there is a protrusion 22 for the latch 5 of the lock 23, which is mounted on the axis 24 and has a protrusion 6 located in the path of rolling the handle 25 of the bolt frame.
Figure 6 shows a magazine 4 in a weapon socket 26. In the wall of the socket there is a groove 27, in which there is a cup 28 with a tooth 29. An ejector spring 8 that works in tension is attached to the cup and the bottom of the groove.
The systems in Fig.3, 4 operate as follows: as the cartridges are consumed, the feeder 10, under the action of the spring 11, moves to the open end of the magazine 4 and after the last cartridge is used up through a mechanical connection in the form of a rod 13 /Fig.3/ or a protrusion 15 on the lever 16 /Fig.4/ opens the latch 3 and the magazine falls out of the weapon under its own weight.
The system in Fig. 5 operates similarly, except that the latch 3, under the action of the elastic plate 20, enters the groove of the feeder 10 at a time when there is still one cartridge left in the magazine. This happens after the rollback, and so that the magazine does not prematurely separate along with the last cartridge, it is held by the protrusion 22 by the latch 5 of the lock 23.
During the roll-up, the cartridge is sent into the barrel and at the same time the bolt or, in relation to the AKM assault rifle, the bolt frame with its handle 25 presses on the protrusion 6 of the lock and the empty magazine is separated. Moreover, if the shooting was carried out with single shots or the trigger was released at that moment, the weapon remains combat-ready during reloading: at any moment it is ready to fire one shot. To reload, all that remains is to insert a new magazine and, without distorting the bolt, you can continue shooting. It should be added that in this case it is desirable to use a slide stop in the machine gun, similar to the PM pistol.
For faster and more reliable separation of the magazine, the above systems may have a push-out spring 8 /Fig. 6/, which, when attaching the magazine, stretches, and after detaching the magazine, it compresses and with the tooth 29 of the cup 28 pushes out the empty magazine 4.
The use of the invention will significantly increase the combat effectiveness of motorized rifle and airborne troops, especially in short-term oncoming, close-in, urban battles.
