A drum magazine (10) is disclosed for successively feeding a plurality of cartridges (21, 22) to a firearm (11). The magazine has drum shaped housing (12) having a cartridge exit opening (25) at the side of the housing. A rotational cartridge carrying means (16, 17) is disposed within the housing (12) to define a cartridge space (20) between the cartridge carrying means and the inner wall of the housing, for receiving two offset concentric rings of cartridges. A cam means (24) within the housing (12) defines, with the housing, a passage from the cartridge space to the exit opening of the housing means, for urging two offset concentric rings of cartridges (21, 22) alternately together into a single row when cartridges are moved out of the housing. |
