ABSTRACT:
An ammunition box for belt type ammunition is provided which is strong enough to support up to 300 rounds of ammunition and which delivers the ammunition directly to the feedtray of the weapon. A box constructed of stainless steel has a large trapezoidal notch in its upper surface. A pin traverses this notch and is connected to the box at both ends. Turnbuckles support the ammunition container by connecting this pin to the machine gun. The ammunition box has a vertically extending neck to which a pair of brackets are attached. The brackets secure the neck to the feedtray thereby providing a direct delivery of the belt of ammunition into the feedtray.
