An ammunition belt is a flexible strip or band designed to hold and feed ammunition into firearms, particularly automatic or semi-automatic weapons. It typically consists of linked cartridges that are arranged in a sequence, allowing for quick and efficient reloading during combat or shooting activities. These belts are commonly used in military settings, where they can be attached to machine guns or other firearms. The design helps to minimize the time spent reloading, ensuring that the weapon can maintain a high rate of fire. Ammunition belts can vary in size and capacity, depending on the specific needs of the firearm and the type of ammunition used.
