ABSTRACT:
A detachable ammunition magazine for high rate-of-fire guns that stores and positively feeds triangularly shaped cartridges to the gun in serial order. The cartridges are stored in a series of concentric cylindrically shaped tiers or arrays, and are advanced in a spiral path and transferred from one array to another to replace the cartridges fed to the gun. All cartridges are continuously maintained in spiral movement during feeding to the gun and are transfered between tiers using a fixed cam structure.
