Ammunition storage system

An ammunition container for storing a belt of linked ammunition, the ammunition container comprising:

• a pair of transversely spaced side walls defining an internal space between the pair of side walls;
• at least one bridge member connecting the pair of side walls;
• the pair of side walls defining a rear opening and a bottom opening continuous with the rear opening, the rear and bottom openings allowing access to the internal space between the pair of side walls;
• and
• a pair of longitudinal support rails respectively mounted to an inner surface of a corresponding one of the pair of side walls, each of the pair of support rails including a front end and a rear end;
• wherein the at least one bridge member includes a front bridge member.
