ABSTRACT:
A small arm magazine for small arms having a magazine well including a generally drum shaped housing portion and a projecting cartridge feed chute portion that projects outwardly from the drum shaped housing portion substantially tangentially to its outer circumferential portion. The interior of the generally drum shaped housing portion is shaped to guide cartridges in generally a curved spiral path. A large portion of the drum shaped housing portion is located to one side of the cartridge feed chute portion and a gap exists between the cartridge feed chute and the adjacent portion of the generally drum shaped housing portion to permit the cartridge feed chute portion to be readily inserted into the magazine well of the small arm. This configuration of the magazine permits the magazine to have a large capacity without having portions of the magazine project downward below the small arm and interfere with the use of the small arm when the magazine is located in place with its feed chute portion in the small arm.
