ABSTRACT:
An improved gun/magazine system which is top loading and wherein the magazine is of generally cylindrical configuration. A spiral drive of the cartridges through the magazine into the top loading receiver of the gun is provided. The magazine includes a spring/winder having a silent clutch which permits tensioning of the drive spring at any time and even immediately before use, and which has a release means in order to permit relaxing of the spring in the event the unprecedented large capacity of cartridges is not entirely expended from the magazine. The cylindrical shaped magazine is mounted above, parallel to, and closely adjacent to the axis of the gun.
