A magazine for a firearm (12) includes at least one tubular member (14,16) for receiving a plurality of cartridges. The tubular member (14,16) is displaceably mountable on the firearm (12) to permit displacement between an inoperative position for receiving fresh cartridges and an operative position for dispensing cartridges from the tubular member (14,16) into a barrel (40) of the firearm. A gate member (22) is pivotally mounted at an open end (14.1,16.1) of the tubular member (14,16) and has a protuberance (28.1,28.2) in the path of an end cartridge to inhibit ejection of the cartridge from the tubular member. The gate member (22) co-operates with a loading mechanism of the firearm (12) and is operable to displace the gate member (22) out of such path. <IMAGE> |
