ABSTRACT:
A device for use with a weapon having a magazine well for acceptance of a rst munitions magazine of a given capacity. The device includes a bracket having first end sized to replicate the well engaging end of the munitions magazine to permit insertion of the bracket into the well and a second end on the bracket for engagement with a second munitions magazine having a substantially greater munitions capacity than the first magazine. Insertion of the bracket into the well and the second munitions magazine into the bracket permits firing of the full capacity of the second munitions magazine. The preferred weapon for this invention is Model M249 Squad Automatic Weapon ("SAW") or other similar weapons, wherein the first magazine is a 30 round magazine and the second magazine is selected from 100 round and 200 round magazines. The M249 SAW is designed to be carried for use while the operator is standing and also provided with a tripod device for ground mounted emplacement and use.
