Abstract:
A device for automatically discharging ammunition links obtained from a weapon configured to fire at a certain rate. The device includes a housing. The housing provides an inlet opening located in an upper position of the position for bulk insertion by gravity of the ammunition links obtained from the weapon after firing and an outlet opening for discharging the ammunition links toward an outside of the device at a given speed. The outlet opening is arranged laterally or offset relative to a vertical of the inlet opening. The device further includes a proximal ramp of the inlet opening connected to a proximal horizontal planar path of the outlet opening, two channeling rollers with parallel axes and inverse rotation relative to one another located at the proximal ramp, and two propulsion and guiding rollers located on either side of the proximal horizontal planar path.
