Abstract
The invention disclosed is a man-portable multi-shot weapon capable of firing relatively large caliber projectiles e.g. 38-40mm at a rapid rate and to the conversion of a similar existing single-shot weapon to multi-shot capability. The multi-shot weapon comprises a barrel, a breech frame on which the barrel is mounted, said breech frame defining a lateral opening through opposite sides of the frame for receiving a magazine having a plurality of chambers to accomodate relatively large caliber projectiles, said magazine being rotatably mounted in said opening in such a manner that the chambers may be successively brought into a firing position in alignment with the barrel, and firing means for firing a projectile when in the firing position.
