Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a connection system that feeds the ammunition strip (link) located inside an ammunition box within a backpack to an automatic firearm until the ammunition feeding unit of the firearm through a flexible and a partially closed feed chute composed of singular plastic parts.
  • the present invention particularly relates to a connection system that eliminates time losses that occur during ammunition change, that reduces the load imposed on personnel, that allows the user to carry the ammunition box on his/her back, thereby enabling the user to fire more ammunition to hostile elements at once, that provides extended time to the user in order allow the user to prevent hostile forces from moving to the target zone thereof in conflict zones, that allows for using as much ammunition as permitted by the firearm barrel at once and that maximizes the firepower of single personnel.
  • Machine guns are usually provided with a strip called ammunition link which is made of a narrow and long piece of cloth that comprises pockets and metal links connected in series to retain the cartridges in order to feed the gun with ammunition.
  • the ammunition link increases the continuous fire rate of the machine gun, thereby providing a significant advantage to the personnel during an armed conflict.
  • the first of these systems involves an ammunition link that holds 50 and 100 cartridges based on the dimensions and the needed quantity of ammunition, and in which the ammunition link is initially positioned inside apparatuses made of plastic/metal/cloth materials mountable on the firearm and subsequently, an end thereof is inserted into the ammunition feeding unit of the firearm.
  • the apparatus is removed once the firing is done and the firing continues after the removed apparatus is supplied with another link. This results in imposing excessive load on the user's arm and the user cannot perform continuous firing since the number of cartridges is low.
  • users require time for resupplying ammunition. The time loss users suffer at this stage may create enough time for hostile forces to move into another area.
  • the second system involves inserting an ammunition link, which approximately holds 200-300 rounds based on the cartridge size and needed quantity, to ammunition boxes that cannot be mounted on a firearm and therefore required to be carried around by another person.
  • the auxiliary personnel assisting the user of the firearm opens the ammunition box when needed and inserts the ammunition link, which may feature different lengths based on needs, into the ammunition feeding box of the firearm. Since the link has an extended length, the auxiliary personnel position the ammunition link based on the location of the user of the firearm. Once the firing is complete, the auxiliary personnel grabs another link from the ammunition box and inserts it into the ammunition feeding unit of the firearm.
  • the second system described above restricts the user's freedom of action as it requires 2 people to operate. The firepower is interrupted when the ammunition link runs out of live rounds.
  • Said invention relates to a flexible ammunition feed chute used for feeding ammunition to rotary machine guns mounted on mobile military vehicles of any type, wherein said feed chute is capable of feeding ammunition from ammunition boxes to firearms of infantry soldiers, and of being deposited into military backpacks of infantry soldiers thanks to its lightweight structure. This is a system that feeds automatic firearms with ammunition.

  • the object of the present invention which has been developed based on the state of the art is to eliminate time losses experienced during ammunition change and to decrease the amount of weight imposed on personnel's arm by means of the inventive connection system.
  • the object of the present invention is to enable the user to carry the ammunition box on his/her back in the inventive connection system, thereby rendering it mobile and capable of firing more ammunition at once against hostile elements.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide more time to the user by enabling him/her to fire more ammunition by means of the inventive connection system so as to prevent hostile forces from relocating to an area they desire to move into in an armed conflict zone.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to ensure that the user is capable of using as much ammunition as the firearm barrel permits by attaching the flexible ammunition feed chute and ammunition box to the firearm by means of the inventive connection system and to further ensure that the need for auxiliary personnel to perform this action is eliminated.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to singularly maximize the firepower of each personnel.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an advantage in terms of weight by manufacturing the inventive flexible ammunition feed chute from a plastic-based material.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to ensure that the ammunition box may be detached from the firearm without exerting significant effort, losing time, and using an additional apparatus by means of the latches included in the inventive flexible ammunition feed chute.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to enable the user to keep track of the amount of ammunition left in the ammunition box by means of the hollow structure provided adjacent to the ammunition box.
