ABSTRACT:
A linkless ammunition magazine for small arms weapons utilizes energy taken from a reciprocating bolt to power the feeding of ammunition rounds into the weapon. No modification of existing small arms weapons is required to utilize the magazine. A spring provides an energy buffer for the power input from the reciprocating bolt and is sized to store only a small amount of energy so that it operates at a low stress level. Since the spring is not required to store sufficient energy to move all of the ammunition rounds into the weapon, a larger number of ammunition rounds may be stored in the magazine, and/or, the magazine may operate at higher rates of fire than otherwise possible with totally spring driven ammunition magazines.
