Installation provided with linkless ammunition loading system

A linkless ammunition loading installation comprising:

• a traversing portion configured to be rotatably mounted and supported on a stationary support structure, and to rotate about a traversing axis;
• an elevating portion rotatably supported by said traversing portion about an elevating axis perpendicular to the traversing axis;
• a firearm assembly supported by the elevating portion and comprising a barrel configured to fire ammunitions through the barrel;
• a magazine carried by said traversing portion and configured to contain a plurality of linkless ammunitions to be fed to said barrel;
• a feeding assembly configured to transfer the linkless ammunitions from said magazine to said barrel for firing said linkless ammunitions, said feeding assembly being carried by said elevating portion;
• and
• a transfer device configured to transfer said linkless ammunitions from said magazine to said feeding assembly;
• wherein said magazine is separate and distinct from said elevating portion, and said feeding assembly is separate and distinct from said traversing portion;
• wherein said transfer device is mounted on said traversing portion and comprises a star element rotatably supported about a rotation axis;
• wherein said feeding assembly comprises a conveying guide mounted on said elevating portion and defining a path for transporting said linkless ammunitions from said transfer device towards said barrel;
• wherein said rotation axis is parallel to said elevation axis;
• wherein a center of ammunition to be picked up by said star element lies on said elevating axis during a part of a rotation path of said star element;
• wherein said rotation axis is spaced apart from said elevating axis along a direction of said traversing axis;
• wherein said conveying guide is provided as a rigid conduit;
• wherein said conveying guide has an inlet located at said elevating axis;
• and
• wherein said inlet is crossed transversely by said elevating axis.
