Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1024338A2] A beltless ammunition feed for a self loading weapon has the ammunition loaded into an endless loop feed which follows a meandering track through the magazine. The rounds are transferred to the weapon by a loop with guide wheels (28,30) at each end. One of the guide wheels (30) is driven and the other is fitted with a one way clutch to prevent the feed pulling back after each discharge. This reduces the stress peaks for the drive and provides a smoother feed rate, with the main loop moving at a near steady rate.
