An ammunition conveyor channel for use with an automatic firing weapon and through which channel there can be conveyed belted ammunition to the weapon, comprising an inlet opening through which there can be introduced the ammunition into the ammunition conveyor channel, a first outlet opening through which there can be ejected the ammunition and inserted into the weapon barrel, and a second outlet opening through which there can be ejected the belt elements of the ammunition belt out of the ammunition conveyor channel. The second outlet opening is arranged in a cover member extending transversely with respect to the conveying direction of the ammunition, this cover member being mounted to be pivotable about a pivot shaft arranged externally of the cross-sectional area of the channel so as to be pivoted into an open position enabling removal of the ammunition introduced through the inlet opening and not ejected through the first outlet opening.
