Abstract
Apparatus for initiating the removal or stripping of a round of ammunition rom an ammunition link belt for feeding automatic weapons comprising a cam situated proximate to and rearwardly from the feed means of an automatic weapon, the cam having a surface inclining upwardly in the direction of feed so as to impart a positive forward displacement of the round to disengage the round from a link retention tab prior to the counter recoil stroke of the operating group of the automatic weapon, thereby permitting the operating group to engage the base of the round and move the round into battery with significantly reduced energy requirements.
