ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for the infeed and withdrawal of caseless ammunition from automatic firearms, consisting essentially of a belt feed mechanism and a cartridge belt conveyed thereby, which includes cartridge pockets at regular intervals interconnected with each other. The pockets formed of two arms which are bent about the cartridges transversely of the longitudinal axis of the belt. The opposite free ends of the arcuately-shaped metal arms which are arranged at a spacing from each other include means which are in operative association with spreader elements of the feed mechanism for the spreading apart of the arcuately-shaped metal arms so as to allow for cartridge withdrawal. Through intermediary of the means which are arranged on the arms, and which are in operative association with the respective spreader elements of the star wheel or feed mechanism, there is additionally possible a simple withdrawal of the cartridges within the weapon and completely without any damaging of the ammunition. The spreading apart of the arms affords that the inserted cartridges can be easily slid out of the belt and into the weapon.
