Ammunition in which the projectile and charge are loaded into a gun separately. [Definition standardized by NATO.] 2, record 2, English, - separate%20loading%20ammunition
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 DEF
A type of ammunition in which the propelling charge is contained in fabric bags and does not use a cartridge case, therefore obturation becomes a function of the breech mechanism. It is loaded separately; the fuzed projectile is rammed, seating it securely in the bore; the bags containing the propelling charge are adjusted as required and placed in the chamber; finally, the breech is closed and the primer is inserted in the firing mechanism. This type of ammunition is always used in breech loading guns. 3, record 2, English, - separate%20loading%20ammunition

Munition dont la charge propulsive se trouve dans des gargousses en tissu et qui n'a pas de douille; c'est par la culasse que l'obturation doit se faire. La munition à chargement séparé est chargée en plusieurs opérations; d'abord, on refoule le projectile équipé d'une fusée en prenant soin de bien le placer dans l'âme, puis on choisit les gargousses qui vont constituer la charge propulsive et on les place dans la chambre, enfin, on ferme la culasse et on introduit l'amorce dans le mécanisme de tir. Les munitions à chargement séparé sont toujours utilisées dans des pièces à obturation par la culasse. 4, record 2, French, - munition%20%C3%A0%20charge%20s%C3%A9par%C3%A9e
