LINKED AMMO

Linked Ammo

Belt‑Fed Ammunition for Automatic Weapons

Linked ammunition denotes ammunition where individual cartridges are joined together with specialized links into belts designed for use in automatic firearms. This configuration enables a continuous feed of rounds into the weapon’s mechanism without the need for repeated magazine changes, facilitating sustained automatic fire.

Linked belts are frequently used in light and heavy machine guns, automatic cannons, and other belt‑fed systems across military and defense forces. The belt links can be metal or polymer and may be configured to include specific sequences of rounds, such as alternating ball and tracer ammunition, tailored to tactical requirements.

This type of ammunition feed system improves rate of fire, operational continuity, and tactical flexibility, making it a standard component in automatic weapon arsenals worldwide.
