Abstract
An easily employed, reliable, rapid response and simple multiple feed sys for selectively feeding various belts of varied types of ammunition through the same gun. A round selector cam pivots the rammer on the bolt carrier to a position for chambering cartridges from the selected belt. A dual feed mechanism advances the cartridges from the selected belt while those from the non-selected belt are held ready but not advanced.
