ABSTRACT:
This invention is in reference to ammunition feeding devices for guns, specifically magazines. The belt feed mechanism consists of a container, which stores the ammunition and defines the path which the ammunition band moves the ammunition. The ammunition is pulled by the ammunition band which is pulled onto one spool. The spool is driven by the power of a wound up spring. Two or more mechanisms can be coupled together, to form a system. The spring motor can be loaded externally through rotating an axle which is attached to a direction limiting mechanism while loading spring motor. The spring motor is discharged controllably utilizing a free gear friction brake by pushing an axle. The spring motor is disengaged from the belt with a push button. Dummy cartridges are used to forward ammunition when the belt itself does not deliver all cartridges by itself.
