ABSTRACT:
An ammunition magazine (10, 10') for storing rounds of ammunition (14) provides compact storage of endless outer and inner loops (22, 32) for storing first and second sets of the rounds of ammunition. Turns (24, 26) of the outer loop (22) have reaches (28, 30) extending therebetween, and turns (34, 36) of the inner loop (32) have reaches (38, 40) extending therebetween in a nested relationship with the reaches of the outer loop to provide compact storage. A separator plate (42) is located between the reaches (38, 40) of the inner loop (32) to permit movement of the loops with the reaches of the inner loop moving in opposite directions to each other. Storage members (46) of each loop store the rounds of ammunition (14) and are connected by connectors (48) that each include connecting portions (50) receiving adjacent storage members. Each loop (22, 32) preferably has rollers (56) that facilitate movement along the separator plate (42) and along a housing (58) in which the loops are received, and drive members (64) of the loops permit driving of one loop through the other loop by a suitable drive.
