Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008110296A1] The invention relates to a magazine (10) for a portable firearm, for receiving a plurality of cartridges (11, 12, 13, 14) that are guided by means of a feeder inside the magazine towards the barrel of a weapon, in order to be individually loaded in the barrel of the weapon on the upper end of the magazine after each shot, the cartridges being guided along a curved path in the magazine. In order to ensure, when using cartridges with an ignition edge (19), that the cartridges are ejected on the upper end of the magazine, such that the ignition edge of the uppermost cartridge (14) always lies in front of that of the second most upper cartridge (13), the inner contour of the magazine (10) is embodied, at least in a region at a distance from the upper magazine end, in such a way that successive cartridges are in a crossed arrangement with intersecting axes, the inner contour tapers off towards the upper end of the magazine, aligning the cartridges, and the ignition edge (19) of at least the uppermost cartridge (14) is guided in the magazine by guiding elements.
