ABSTRACT:
An improved ammunition belt for automatic barrel weapons such as machine cannons. The ammunition belt is composed of a plurality of belt members each of which is adapted to accommodate and resiliently hold an ammunition unit in operative position therein. The belt members include pin-like projections which are adapted to interact with the gear-teeth or the like of an ammunition unit thereon and includes a pair of straps connected to the belt member by means of a first pivotal connection. The members for detachably holding the ammunition units as well as the first pivotal connection have the pin-like projections which are adapted to interact with the belt feed mechanism. The straps have arcuate slits spaced from the axis of the first pivotal connection. Pin-like projections secured to the projections of the belt members extend through the arcuate slits to form second pivotal connections. The projections of each belt member may be resiliently movably mounted relative to each other so that, when being moved towards each other, the respective first pivotal connection is detached.
