A discharge duct arrangement for discharging belt links of a disintegrating cartridge belt from a firearm. The discharge duct arrangement is particularly adapted for belt links consisting of a double clip for holding a cartridge, a single clip for connecting the link to the next adjacent cartridge and a bracket connecting the double clip to the single clip. Three guide tracks are arranged in the discharge duct for slidably engaging the respective single clip, double clip and bracket as the links pass through the duct. These guide tracks are positioned such that only two of the tracks engage the belt at any given time and such that the belt link is inclined slightly as it is guided through the duct. When used with a pivotable turret, rotation of the duct with the turret may cause a tilting of the belt clip and consequent disengagement from one of the guide tracks and engagement with another previously disengaged guide track, with the third guide track remaining in engagement. Two similar discharge ducts can be arranged mirror-like in a common rotatable support at opposite sides of a cartridge ejection duct also in the support. |
