FIELD: hand automatic weapon. SUBSTANCE: several cartridge sections are arranged in the body in longitudinal direction. Each section (except for the initial one) is furnished with cutoffs blocking the feeders or directly cartridges of the subsequent sections if they are available in the preceding section. In the second variant the magazine is furnished with a longitudinal feeder with spring-loaded ratchet pushers moving in longitudinal slots in the upper part of the body and kinematically linked with the weapon loading mechanism. Cartridge feed from the pistol magazine to the feed line is accomplished by a lifting system, and primary feed to the chamber - by movable trigger bow-loader. A plate recoil spring is positioned above the slide. EFFECT: enhanced capacity of magazines without increase of weapon overall dimensions. 10 cl, 8 dwg
