Abrégé

This invention relates to a drag augmentation device (10) for altering the trajectory of the spin-stabilised projectile (12) during flight. The drag augmentation device includes a plurality of drag members (18), which are all movable between a stowed position and a deployed position. The drag device (10) further includes deployment means (20) to allow movement of the drag members (18) from the stowed position to the deployed position, once activated. The drag members (18) are releasably retained in the stowed position until the deployment means (20) are activated to release the members (18) from the stowed position whereupon they are opened by means of a centrifugal force acting on the members (18).

Abrégé

A primer loader assembly (10) comprises a loading and feeding assembly (26) for receiving an elongate magazine (28) containing primers (24); an advancement member (30) for advancing the magazine (28) along its longitudinal axis, through the primer loader assembly (10) to bring a primer (24) in register with the said primer chamber (22); and a push rod (32) for loading the primer (24) into the primer chamber (22) by moving the primer (24) from the magazine (28) into the chamber (22). The magazine (28) defines a plurality of individual separate tubular openings (28.1) for containing the primers (24) separate from each other. The magazine (28) further defines a plurality of curved guide slots (28.5), for engaging the advancement member (30) and to advance the magazine (28) step-wise along its longitudinal axis.
