ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for supplying belt-linked ammunition to a gun. Belt-linked ammunition is supplied to a gun by an apparatus comprising a plurality of standard rectilinear ammunition boxes in which the ammunition belts are arranged so that both of their ends are accessible. The boxes are secured beneath an arcuate supporting guide which traverses with the gun and which has openings through which both ends of each belt can pass, for leading in respective directions towards an adjacent box or towards the gun. The boxes are arranged to extend tangentially of the guide so that the axes of rounds of ammunition within the guide are directed radially of the axis of curvature thereof.
