Abstract: An ammunition handling system is provided with a magazine consisting of a plurality of modular, highly portable magazine packs which are readily installed in a mechanized support frame. The magazine packs contain separate ammunition conveyors commonly driven from the frame. Guides are positioned to effect direct transfers of ammunition rounds between conveyors of adjacent ammunition packs and thus to establish linear linkless ammunition round movement along a serpentine path leading to a magazine exit and ultimately to a rapid-fire gun. Rearming the gun simply involves replacing empty magazine packs with magazine packs pre-loaded with live ammunition rounds.
