Abstract
A circulating magazine including a housing (1) in which mutually articulated parallel ammunition containers (5;5') are disposed so as to accommodate ammunition (6,6') in an endless, two-layer transporting belt (4) driven by a drive (13;13'). To realize a quasi three-layer arrangement, guides (11,12; 11',12') for the ammunition containers (5;5') are provided in oppositely disposed container walls (2,3; 2',3') such that the ammunition containers (5,5') of one of the two layers are folded in an essentially zigzag nested arrangement.
