Adapter for coupling ammunition magazines

An adapter for coupling ammunition magazines together, comprising a structure formed as a single contiguous piece that includes:

• a first interior pocket having a first opening facing in a first direction, the first interior pocket defined by a first pair of opposed sidewalls, an first end wall, and a first floor, wherein the first floor corresponds to a first surface of a plate spanning the first pair of opposed sidewalls, and the first interior pocket is configured to receive a base of a first magazine;
• and
• a second interior pocket having a second opening facing in a second direction opposite the first direction, the second interior pocket defined by a second pair of opposed sidewalls, a second end wall, and a second floor, wherein the second floor corresponds to a second surface of the plate that is opposite the first surface, and the second interior pocket is configured to receive a base of a second magazine, wherein:
• the first interior pocket is further defined by a single pair of first lips, each first lip extending inward, toward a center of the first interior pocket, from a top of one of the first pair of opposed sidewalls, and extending along the sidewall from the first opening and terminating at a point along the sidewall that is remoted from the first end wall,
• the second interior pocket is further defined by a single pair of second lips, each second lip extending inward, toward a center of the second interior pocket, from a top of one of the second pair of opposed sidewalls, and extending along the sidewall from the second opening and terminating at a point along the sidewall that is remoted from the second end wall.
