Abstract
The invention relates to a loading arrangement for handfire-arms, in particular automatic rifles for firing caseless ammunition, comprising a magazine and a cartridge clip adapted to it. The cartridge clip retains the cartridges by two resilient tongues and is constructed as an insert for a container. Several containers are detachable interconnected. The magazine comprises channels for the tongues and is provided with a one-way barrier at the front face, which is open over at least approximately the full cross-section. The one-way barrier allows the insertion of a cartridge clip having a plurality of cartridges into the magazine, tensioned against the follower spring. The one-way barrier further permits the removal of the clip while retaining the cartridges in the magazine. The cartridges are removed from the magazine perpendicular to the direction of insertion. The one-way barrier is constructed as a U-shaped stop spring.
