System for evacuating cartridges, applied to a firearm, said firearm comprising a breech, and a firing chamber in which a projectile to come out through a barrel having a barrel axis to come is fired; said evacuation system comprising an evacuation tray configured for receiving the cartridge following deflagration of an ammunition, and a movement mechanism configured to move said tray; the movement mechanism turning the evacuation tray about an axis, parallel to the barrel axis of the firearm, in a preset and appropriately cadenced manner, passing from a first position where the cartridge is received, to a second position where the cartridge is expelled by an expulsion mechanism, and vice versa; wherein the movement mechanism comprises a movement actuator for the evacuation tray, which acts via a gear mechanism on the tray, in such a way that the movement of the tray is synchronized with the rest of the mechanisms implemented in the firearm; wherein, once the evacuation tray has reached the second position, the cartridge contained in the evacuation tray is disengaged by the expulsion mechanism, which comprises a rigid tube, adapted for channeling the cartridge for final expulsion of the cartridge, and at least one actuator configured for thrusting the cartridge from the evacuation tray towards the tube, via at least one thrust portion.
