Abstract
A machine gun ammunition loading system employs cantilevered support memb on a magazine holding a leading round of belted ammunition supported above a cover of the magazine. The cover of the magazine includes mating parts which permit sliding engagement below the machine gun. When fully mated, the cantilevered members, with the leading round between them, are inserted into the receiver in a loading position from whence charging can be performed by single-handed motion of an operator while upright and walking.
