ABSTRACT:
A firearm magazine has a cartridge pushing means including a follower, an auxiliary follower, a relatively short main spring, and a relatively short auxiliary spring; as opposed to the conventional firearm magazine having one follower and one relatively long spring. If the invented firearm magazine and the conventional firearm magazine have the same size and both are fully loaded, all the springs--short ones and long one--are compressed to the same length, and it is obvious that the spring tension for the short spring is much less than the same for the long one, and accordingly the invented firearm magazine can stay fully loaded much longer than the conventional one, without losing restoring force of the springs.
