A metal belt member for aligning of cartridges on belts for rapid fire weapons which comprises two resilient loops open towards the same side. One of the loops forms the center zone of the belt surrounding with play one of the cartridges, while the other of the loops formed in a pair clampingly surrounds the next adjacent of the cartridges. The other of the loops has a resilient tongue for entrance into a channelure of the cartridge and includes further angularly bent wings, projecting from the marginal edges of the two loop parts forming the loop in pairs and defining a slot therebetween. A rib extends in longitudinal direction of the cartridge belt and projects towards the inside of the loop out of the face of the loop and assumes the tensile stress of the belt, as well as being reduced towards its free end, all loops having slots oriented cross-wise to the longitudinal direction of the belt and aligned on one side of the belt spaced from and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the belt.
