ammunition belts

Rounds carried crosswise

Ammunition belts are flexible strips that hold cartridges in sequence for feeding into automatic weapons.

The belt passes through the gun's mechanism, positioning each round for firing.

They may be fabric, metal links, or disintegrating links that separate as rounds are fired.

The gunner loaded a fresh ammunition belt into the machine gun.
